[PATCH v2 3/4] Documentation/git-status: document porcelain status T (typechange)

As reported in [1], T is missing from the description of porcelain status letters in git-status(1) (whereas T *is* documented in git-diff-files(1) and friends). Document T right after M (modified) because the two are very similar.
