pull: update docs & code for option compatibility with rebasing
git-pull.txt includes merge-options.txt, which is written assuming
merges will happen. git-pull has allowed rebases for many years; update
the documentation to reflect that.
While at it, pass any `--signoff` flag through to the rebase backend too
so that we don't have to document it as merge-specific. Rebase has
supported the --signoff flag for years now as well.
