Remove diagnostics that haven't been emitted by "fsck" or its predecessors for around 15 years. This documentation was added in c64b9b88605 (Reference documentation for the core git commands., 2005-05-05), but was out-of-date quickly after that.

Notes on individual diagnostics:

 - "expect dangling commits": Added in bcee6fd8e71 (Make 'fsck' able
   to[...], 2005-04-13), documented in c64b9b88605. Not emitted since
   1024932f019 (fsck-cache: walk the 'refs' directory[...],
   2005-05-18).

 - "missing sha1 directory": Added in 20222118ae4 (Add first cut at
   "fsck-cache"[...], 2005-04-08), documented in c64b9b88605. Not
   emitted since 230f13225df (Create object subdirectories on demand,
   2005-10-08).

 Extracted Diagnostics
 ---------------------
 
-expect dangling commits - potential heads - due to lack of head information::
-	You haven't specified any nodes as heads so it won't be
-	possible to differentiate between un-parented commits and

-
-missing sha1 directory '<dir>'::
-	The directory holding the sha1 objects is missing.
-
 unreachable <type> <object>::
 	The <type> object <object>, isn't actually referred to directly
 	or indirectly in any of the trees or commits seen. This can
