8d6888ec6a Documentation/notes: describe content of notes blobs
stripspace/text-based formatting kicks in when specifying the notes
content with -m or -F, or when an editor is used to edit the notes.
To binary-safely create notes from files, the following construct is
required:

    git notes add -C $(git hash-object -w <file>) <object>

Explain this trick (thanks, Johan!) in the manual.  Add an ordinary
example, too, to keep this esoteric one company.
