Commit 88e2f9ed8e ("introduce fetch-object: fetch one promisor object", 2017-12-05) introduced new command-line arguments without documenting them. Add documentation for these arguments.

Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com>

This is a follow-up to [1] in which Junio noticed some arguments lacking
documentation, and I said that I would make a patch documenting these.
