doc/manual.txt: Update note file naming scheme
We are now using hash-based note file names instead of mkstemp() (cf. commit 5c6a00ee93e54cc044aee5146e9fcfbcb732a2ee). Update the documentation accordingly. Also, add a note on the garbage collector we added in 8d71923d4f498c8d2fcb22a72346e3e77a7c4a5b. Signed-off-by: Lukas Fleischer <calcurse@cryptocrack.de>

this subdirectory contains descriptions of the notes which are attached to
- appointments, events or todos. One text file is created per note, whose name
- is built using mkstemp(3) and should be unique, but with no relation with the
- corresponding item's description.
+ appointments, events or todos. Since the file name of each note file is a
+ SHA1 hash of the note itself, multiple items can share the same note file.
+ calcurse provides a garbage collector (see the `-g` command line parameter)
+ that can be used to remove note files which are no longer linked to any item.
