Documentation/config.txt: Fix documentation of colour config tweaks.

  * The description of valid colour specifications was rather
    incomplete, so fix it so that it actually describes colour specs as
    accepted by color_parse().

  * The list of colour items allowed in color.diff.BLAH was missing the
    `commit' and `whitespace' entries.
