doc: fetch: document --filter=<filter-spec> option

Browse Source 
The `--filter=<filter-spec>` option is documented in most commands that
support it except `git fetch`.

Let's fix that and document this option. To ensure consistency across
commands, let's reuse the exact description currently found in
`git clone`.

This is incompatible with `--recurse-submodules=(yes|on-demand)` and takes
precedence over the `fetch.output` config option.
`--filter=<filter-spec>`::
Use the partial clone feature and request that the server sends
a subset of reachable objects according to a given object filter.
When using `--filter`, the supplied _<filter-spec>_ is used for
the partial fetch. For example, `--filter=blob:none` will filter
out all blobs (file contents) until needed by Git. Also,
`--filter=blob:limit=<size>` will filter out all blobs of size
at least _<size>_. For more details on filter specifications, see
the `--filter` option in linkgit:git-rev-list[1].
