doc/rev-list-options: clarify "commit@{Nth}" for "-g" option
When "log -g" shows "HEAD@{1}", "HEAD@{2}", etc, calling that "commit@{Nth}" is not really accurate. The "HEAD" part is really the refname. By saying "commit", a reader may misunderstand that to mean something related to the specific commit we are showing, not the ref whose reflog we are traversing. While we're here, let's also switch these instances to use literal backticks, as our style guide recommends. As a bonus, that lets us drop some asciidoc quoting.
