doc: clarify how -S works

The existing text was very vague about what exactly it means
for difference to "contain" a change. This seems to cause
confusion on the mailing list every month or two.

To fix it we:

  1. use "introduce or remove an instance of" instead of
     "contain"

  2. point the user to gitdiffcore(7), which contains a more
     complete explanation
