Documentation/config.txt: avoid unnecessary negation
Section names and variable names are both case-insensitive, but one
is described as "not case sensitive". Use "case-insensitive" for
both.
Instead of saying "... have to be escaped" without telling what that
escaping achieves, state it in a more positive way, i.e. "... can be
included by escaping".
