The synopsis section in git-rev-list.txt has grown to be a huge list
that probably needs its own synopsis. Since the list is huge, users may
be given the false impression that the list is complete, however it is
not. It is missing many of the available options.

Since the list of options in the synopsis is not only annoying but
actively harmful, replace it with `[<options>]` so users know to
explicitly look through the documentation for further information.
I am not sure listing only the most often used ones is harmful.  It
indeed is annoying and it is a good idea to shrink it down like this
patch does.

Thanks.
