config doc: clarify "git config --path" examplenp/config-path-doc
Change the word "bla" to "section.variable"; "bla" is a placeholder
for a variable name but it wasn't clear for everyone.
While we're here, also reformat this sample command line to use
monospace instead of italics, to better match the rest of the file.
Use a space instead of a dash in "git config", as is common in the
rest of Git's documentation.
