Replace the use of "<guide>" originally introduced (as "GUIDE") in a133737b809 (doc: include --guide option description for "git help", 2013-04-02) with the more generic "<doc>". The "<doc>" placeholder is more generic, and one we'll be able to use as we introduce new documentation categories. Let's also add "<doc>" to the "git help -h" output, when it was made to use parse_option() in in 41eb33bd0cb (help: use parseopt, 2008-02-24).
