[PATCH] documentation: git-config minor cleanups

Change push.default's description to add hyphens between values and descriptions to make the manpage easier to read. The html version is readable either way.

Change status.showUntrackedFiles to make item descriptions be sentences and to use the same asciidoc format as push.default. The only visual change is the additions of "."
