config: document --[no-]show-names 

These options were introduced in 4e51389000 (builtin/config:
introduce "get" subcommand, 2024-05-06) but not documented here.
Use the description from the source code.

Document this option and the negated form according to the current
convention.[1]

`--show-names` is also the default when `--get-regexp` is given.  But
don’t mention it here since all the deprecated modes are quarantined in
the “Deprecated Modes” section.
