doc: notes: remove stripspace discussion from other options
Cleaning up whitespace in metadata is typical porcelain behavior and this default does not need to be pointed out.[1] Only speak up when the default `--stripspace` is not used. Also remove all misleading mentions of comment lines in the process; see the previous commit. Also remove the period that trails the parenthetical here. † 1: See `-F` in git-commit(1) which has nothing to say about whitespace cleanup. The cleanup discussion is on `--cleanup`.
