Update git-applymbox documentation
Documentation/git-applymbox.txt: updating -u documentation to include fact that it encodes to the i18n.commitencoding setting, not just utf-8. Added documentation of -n option to pass -n to git-mailinfo. Signed-off-by: Andrew Ruder <andy@aeruder.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
