Documentation/git-status: mention how to detect copies

Browse Source 
The man page documents that git-status can find copies, but does not
mention how. Whereas git-diff has command line options -C, there is
no such option for git-status - it will only detect copies when the
"status.renames" config option is "copies" or "copy". Document that
in git-status.txt because this has confused me and others[1].
