Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 9274dea3d9 docs: add CONFIGURATION sections that fuzzy map to built-ins
Add a CONFIGURATION section to the documentation of various built-ins,
for those cases where the relevant config/NAME.txt doesn't map only to
one git-NAME.txt. In particular:

 * config/blame.txt: used by git-{blame,annotate}.txt. Since the
   git-annotate(1) documentation refers to git-blame(1) don't add a
   "CONFIGURATION" section to git-annotate(1), only to git-blame(1).

 * config/checkout.txt: maps to both git-checkout.txt and
   git-switch.txt (but nothing else).

 * config/init.txt: should be included in git-init(1) and
   git-clone(1).

 * config/column.txt: We should ideally mention the relevant subset of
   this in git-{branch,clean,status,tag}.txt, but let's punt on it for
   now. We will when we eventually split these sort of files into
   e.g. config/column.txt and
   config/column/{branch,clean,status,tag}.txt, with the former
   including the latter set.

Things that are being left out, and why:

 * config/{remote,remotes,credential}.txt: Configuration that affects
   how we talk to remote repositories is harder to untangle. We'll need
   to include some of this in git-{fetch,remote,push,ls-remote}.txt
   etc., but some of those only use a small subset of these
   options. Let's leave this for now.

git-column(1)
=============
NAME
----
git-column - Display data in columns
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git column' [--command=<name>] [--[raw-]mode=<mode>] [--width=<width>]
[--indent=<string>] [--nl=<string>] [--padding=<n>]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This command formats the lines of its standard input into a table with
multiple columns. Each input line occupies one cell of the table. It
is used internally by other git commands to format output into
columns.
OPTIONS
-------
--command=<name>::
Look up layout mode using configuration variable column.<name> and
column.ui.
--mode=<mode>::
Specify layout mode. See configuration variable column.ui for option
syntax in linkgit:git-config[1].
--raw-mode=<n>::
Same as --mode but take mode encoded as a number. This is mainly used
by other commands that have already parsed layout mode.
--width=<width>::
Specify the terminal width. By default 'git column' will detect the
terminal width, or fall back to 80 if it is unable to do so.
--indent=<string>::
String to be printed at the beginning of each line.
--nl=<string>::
String to be printed at the end of each line,
including newline character.
--padding=<N>::
The number of spaces between columns. One space by default.
EXAMPLES
--------
Format data by columns:
------------
$ seq 1 24 | git column --mode=column --padding=5
1 4 7 10 13 16 19 22
2 5 8 11 14 17 20 23
3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24
------------
Format data by rows:
------------
$ seq 1 21 | git column --mode=row --padding=5
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
8 9 10 11 12 13 14
15 16 17 18 19 20 21
------------
List some tags in a table with unequal column widths:
------------
$ git tag --list 'v2.4.*' --column=row,dense
v2.4.0 v2.4.0-rc0 v2.4.0-rc1 v2.4.0-rc2 v2.4.0-rc3
v2.4.1 v2.4.10 v2.4.11 v2.4.12 v2.4.2
v2.4.3 v2.4.4 v2.4.5 v2.4.6 v2.4.7
v2.4.8 v2.4.9
