[PATCH] Document positive variant of commit and merge option "--no-verify"

From: Alex Riesen <redacted>

This documents "--verify" option of the commands. It can be used to re-enable
the hooks disabled by an earlier "--no-verify" in command-line.

As I suggested yesterday I think this would be better if it kept the "the"
from the original text as you do below for the merge documentation -
s/default, /&the /

Updated:

    -n::
    --[no-]verify::
	    By default, the pre-commit and commit-msg hooks are run.
	    When any of `--no-verify` or `-n` is given, these are bypassed.

This text looks good. It would be nice to be consistent when documenting
"--verify" and "--no-verify" so that documentation for commit and merge both
have either a separate entry for each option as you have for commit or a
shared entry as you have here for merge. I'd be tempted to use this form in
the commit documentation.

So I did.

Regards,
Alex
