4e513890 (builtin/config: introduce "get" subcommand, 2024-05-06) introduced "--show-names" option that is used to give the name of the configuration variable to each output entry in addition to the value. It however forgot to document it, even though the option is used in a few examples.

Document it.

Thanks for your review and suggestions Junio. I must have stayed up
too late yesterday, so what the commit message was sent was not the
final version.
