doc: improve readability of --rebase-merges in git-rebase
When --preserve-merges was deprecated in 427c3bd28a a sentence
was introduced describing the difference between --rebase-merges and
--preserve-merges which is a little unclear and difficult to parse.
This patch improves readability while retaining original meaning.
