From

Message-ID
<alpine.LFD.2.21.1711211048400.8726@DESKTOP-1GPMCEJ>

Add mention of git prune's "--progress" option to the SYNOPSIS and DESCRIPTION sections of the man page, and to the usage message of "git prune" itself.

While we're here, move the explanation of "--" toward the end of the DESCRIPTION section, where it belongs.
