[PATCH v2] docs: add git hash-object -t option's possible values

From: John Cai <johncai86@gmail.com>

The verbiage under the NAME section for git hash-object could lead one to conclude that git hash-object can only be used to create blobs when in fact the description makes it clear that it can be used to create objects, not just blobs. Lets clarify this in the NAME text.

Further, the description for the option -t does not list out other types that can be used. Let's make this explicit by listing out the different object types.

    docs: add git-hash-object -t option's possible values
    
    For newer users of Git, the possible values of -t in git-hash-object may
    not be apparent. In fact the current verbiage under NAME could lead one
    to conclude that git-hash-object(1) can only be used to create blobs.
    
    Update the verbiage to make it clear the command can be used to write
    objects, not just blobs. Also add the possible values for -t.
