Documentation/merge-options.txt: group "ff" related options together
The --ff-only option was not described next to --ff and --no-ff options in "git merge" documentation, even though these three are logically together, describing how to choose one of three possibilities. Also the description for '--ff' and '--no-ff' discussed what '--ff' means, and mentioned '--no-ff' as if it were a side-note to '--ff'. Make them into three top-level entries and list them together. This way, it would be more clear that the user can choose one from these three. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
