Doc fix for git-reflog: mention @{...} syntax, and <ref> in synopsys.

The HEAD@{...} syntax was documented in git-rev-parse manpage, which
is hard to find by someone looking for the documentation of porcelain.
git-reflog is probably the place where one expects to find this.

While I'm there, "git revlog show whatever" was also undocumented.

 The subcommand "show" (which is also the default, in the absence of any
