technical/shallow: describe why shallow cannot use replace refs

It is tempting to do away with commit_graft altogether (in the long
haul), now that grafts are deprecated.

However, the shallow feature needs a couple of things that the replace
refs cannot fulfill. Let's point that out in the documentation.
