Heba Waly 6c96630cb0 config: move documentation to config.h
Move the documentation from Documentation/technical/api-config.txt into
config.h as it's easier for the developers to find the usage information
beside the code instead of looking for it in another doc file, also
documentation/technical/api-config.txt is removed because the information
it has is now redundant and it'll be hard to keep it up to date and
syncronized with the documentation in config.h

/**
* The config API gives callers a way to access Git configuration files
* (and files which have the same syntax).
*
* General Usage
* -------------
*
* Config files are parsed linearly, and each variable found is passed to a
* caller-provided callback function. The callback function is responsible
* for any actions to be taken on the config option, and is free to ignore
* some options. It is not uncommon for the configuration to be parsed
* several times during the run of a Git program, with different callbacks
* picking out different variables useful to themselves.
