Documentation/pretty-{formats,options}: better reference for "format:<string>"

In "git help log" (and friends) it's not easy to find the possible
placeholder for <string> for the "--pretty=format:<string>" option
to git log.

This patch makes the placeholder easier to find by adding a reference
to the "PRETTY FORMATS" section and repeating the "format:<string>"
phrase.

+The 'format:<string>' format allows you to specify which information
 you want to show. It works a little bit like printf format,
 with the notable exception that you get a newline with '%n'
 instead of '\n'.
