Topic summary: Move BreakingChanges document to a manpage for easier visibility.

Users are the ones who are impacted by breaking changes. Certainly much more than Git developers who are already plugged in to the development channels that discuss the trajectory of the project. Advertizing the planned breaking changes to all users will help the whole Git community prepare.
