revisions.txt: use description list for special refs
The special refs listed in 'gitrevisions' (under the '<refname>' entry)
are on separate lines in the Asciidoc source, but end up as a single
continuous paragraph in the rendered documentation (see e.g. [1]). In
following commits we will mention additional special refs, so to improve
legibility, use a description list such that every entry appears on its
own line. Since we are already in a description list, use ':::' as the
term delimiter.
In order for the new description list to be aligned with the description
under the '<refname>' entry, instead of being aligned with the last
entry of the "in the following rules" nested list, use the "ancestor
list continuation" syntax [2], i.e., leave an empty line before the
continuation '+'. Do the same for the paragraph following the new
description list ("Note that any...").
While at it, also use a continuation '+' before the "in the following
rules" list, for correctness. The parser seems not to care here, but
it's best to keep the sources correct.
