doc: log, gitk: move '-L' description to 'line-range-options.txt'
The description of the '-L' option for `git log` and `gitk` is almost the same, but is repeated in both 'git-log.txt' and 'gitk.txt' (the difference being that 'git-log.txt' lists the option with a space after '-L', while 'gitk.txt' lists it as stuck and notes that `gitk` only understands the stuck form). Reduce duplication by creating a new file, 'line-range-options.txt', and include it in both files. To simplify the presentation, only list the stuck form for both commands, and remove the note about `gitk` only understanding the stuck form.

Intended to speed up tools that read log messages from `git log`
output by allowing them to allocate space in advance.
--L <start>,<end>:<file>::
--L :<funcname>:<file>::
- Trace the evolution of the line range given by "<start>,<end>"
- (or the function name regex <funcname>) within the <file>. You may
- not give any pathspec limiters. This is currently limited to
- a walk starting from a single revision, i.e., you may only
- give zero or one positive revision arguments, and
- <start> and <end> (or <funcname>) must exist in the starting revision.
- You can specify this option more than once. Implies `--patch`.
- Patch output can be suppressed using `--no-patch`, but other diff formats
- (namely `--raw`, `--numstat`, `--shortstat`, `--dirstat`, `--summary`,
- `--name-only`, `--name-status`, `--check`) are not currently implemented.
