Junio C Hamano 72c282098d archive: document that --add-virtual-file takes full path ...

Tom Scogland noticed that `--add-virtual-file` option uses the path
specified as its value as-is, without prepending any value given to
the `--prefix` option like `--add-file` does.

The behaviour has always been that way since the option was
introduced, but the documentation has always been wrong and said
that it would use the value of `--prefix` just like `--add-file`
does.

We could modify the behaviour to make it literally work like the
documentation said, but it would break existing scripts the users
use.
