Documentation/diff-index: mention two modes of operation

Browse Source 
"diff-index" can be used to compare a tree with the tracked working
tree files (when used without the --index option), or with the index
(when used with the --index option).

The text however did not say anything about the comparison with the
working tree at all.  Fix this.

DESCRIPTION
-----------
Compares the content and mode of the blobs found via a tree
object with the content of the current index and, optionally
ignoring the stat state of the file on disk. When paths are
specified, compares only those named paths. Otherwise all
entries in the index are compared.
Compares the content and mode of the blobs found in a tree object
with the corresponding tracked files in the working tree, or with the
corresponding paths in the index. When <path> arguments are present,
compares only paths matching those patterns. Otherwise all tracked
files are compared.
