doc: pretty-formats describe use of ellipsis in truncation

Commit a7f01c6b4d (pretty: support truncating in %>, %< and %><,
2013-04-19) added the use of ellipsis when truncating placeholder
values.

Show our 'two dot' ellipsis, and examples for the left, middle and
right truncation to avoid any confusion as to which end of the string
is adjusted. (cf justification and sub-string).
