Lets remove the reference in the gitk man page, and do some other
fixups while in the area.

Match the 'git gui' information regarding the graphical browser
and its upstream location.

37cd4f7 ("Document git-gui, git-citool as mainporcelain manual pages",
2007-06-21) documented the default, but was shortly followed by c52c945
("git-gui: Allow blame/browser subcommands on bare repositories",
2007-07-17) which, it would appear, as a side effect, removed that default.

Finally document that change.
