doc: git-reset: clarify `git reset <pathspec>`
From user feedback:
- Continued confusion about the terms "tree-ish" and "pathspec"
- The word "hunks" is confusing folks, use "changes" instead.
- On the part about `git restore`, there were a few comments to the
effect of "wait, this doesn't actually update any files? What? Why?"
Be more direct that `git reset` does not update files: there's no
obvious reason to suggest that folks use `git reset` followed by `git
restore`, instead suggest just using `git restore`.
Continue avoiding the use of the word "reset" to
describe what "git reset" does.
