docs/config.txt: reorder hideRefs config
The descriptions for receive.hideRefs and
uploadpack.hideRefs are largely the same, and then
transfer.hideRefs refers to both of them. Instead, let's
make transfer.hideRefs the "master" source, and refer to it
from the other sites (with appropriate program-specific
annotations).
This avoids duplication, and will make it easier to document
changes to the config option without having to copy and
paste the description in two places.
While we're at it, this fixes some bogus subject/verb
agreement in the original description.
