builtin/show-ref: explicitly spell out different modes in synopsis
The synopsis treats the `--verify` and the implicit mode the same. They
are slightly different though:
- They accept different sets of flags.
- The implicit mode accepts patterns while the `--verify` mode
accepts references.
Split up the synopsis for these two modes such that we can disambiguate
those differences.
While at it, drop "--quiet" from the pattern mode's synopsis. It does
not make a lot of sense to list patterns, but squelch the listing output
itself. The description for "--quiet" is adapted accordingly.
