Documentation: cite git-am from git-apply

bradking · gitster · commit 08b29826457e · 2010-08-09T09:15:41.000-07:00
Users reading git-apply documentation may also be interested in git-am,
especially after receiving an email created with git-format-patch.  The
documentation for git-am already references git-apply.  Add the reverse.
