git-notes.txt: clarify -C vs. copy and -F
The current description of '-C' together with the analogy to 'git commit
-C' can lead to the wrong conclusion that '-C' copies notes between
objects. Make this clearer by rewording and pointing to 'copy'.
The example for attaching binary notes with 'git hash-object' followed
by 'git notes add -C' immediately raises the question: "Why not use 'git
notes add -F'?". Answer it (the latter is not binary-safe).
