Derrick Stolee 4a465443a6 clone: document --filter options ...

It turns out that the "--filter=<filter-spec>" option is not
documented anywhere in the "git clone" page, and instead is
detailed carefully in "git rev-list" where it serves a
different purpose.

Add a small bit about this option in the documentation. It
would be worth some time to create a subsection in the "git clone"
documentation about partial clone as a concept and how it can be
a surprising experience. For example, "git checkout" will likely
trigger a pack download.
