The `git help` command gained the ability to list config variables in
3ac68a93fd (help: add --config to list all available config, 2018-05-26)
but failed to tell readers of the config documenation itself.

Provide that cross reference.

I noticed this omission while reviewing Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason's
[PATCH v2 2/5] help: correct usage & behavior of "git help --guides"
<patch-v2-2.5-039639a0dd3-20210910T112545Z-avarab@gmail.com>.

My initial comment is in <2493437c-01c5-ddcc-6a61-666f87e70f20@iee.email>
and follow up, that is was out of scope to Ævar's series, in
<8c72d383-4ae2-b96c-6886-7c36153d8991@iee.email>.

This patch is independednt of the ab/help-config-vars series.
