Update documentation for "git branch", "git for-each-ref" and "git tag"
with notes explaining what happens when passed multiple --contains or
--no-contains filters.

This behavior is useful to document prior to enabling multiple
merged/no-merged filters, in order to demonstrate consistent behavior
between merged/no-merged and contains/no-contains filters.

"git" has more than one concepts that relate to the word "filter",
like the one that are used to create lazy clone, the "filter-branch"
command, "smudge/clean" filter, "textconv" filter used by the diff
and grep machinery to name some.

Make sure you do not accidentally squat on a good-sounding but
an overly generic name.  ref-reachability-filters.txt perhaps?
