Documentation/diff-index: mention two modes of operation

"diff-index" can be used to compare a tree with the tracked working
tree files (when used without the --index option), or with the index
(when used with the --index option).

The text however did not say anything about the comparison with the
working tree at all.  Fix this.

 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
-Compares the content and mode of the blobs found via a tree
-object with the content of the current index and, optionally
-ignoring the stat state of the file on disk.  When paths are
-specified, compares only those named paths.  Otherwise all
-entries in the index are compared.
+Compares the content and mode of the blobs found in a tree object
+with the corresponding tracked files in the working tree, or with the
+corresponding paths in the index.  When <path> arguments are present,
+compares only paths matching those patterns.  Otherwise all tracked
+files are compared.
