config: document --type=color output is a complete line
Even though the newer "--type=color" option to "git config" is meant
to be upward compatible with the traditional "--get-color" option,
unlike the latter, its output is not an incomplete line that lack
the LF at the end. That makes it consistent with output of other
types like "git config --type=bool".
Document it, as it sometimes surprises unsuspecting users.
