Add a pointer to git-update-index(1) and a bit more detail about fsmonitor and watchman to help people following up the new feature. ---

Hi Ben and Junio,

Wouldn't it be nice to tell the world a bit more about "file system monitor" we now support? I think that "git status" and "watchman" might not ring the bell for some, but adding a word "file system monitor" may.

I know most of repos don't need fsmonitor but it's a cool feature to have it. ;-)

WDYT?
