rootiest cb4d74423a feat(config_help): add --help flag and persistent nav hint header
- config_help --help / -h prints full usage, section keyword examples,
  ov navigation key reference, and the pager fallback chain.
- Prepend a dim nav hint line to the ov input stream and pin it with
  --header 1 so "Space=next section  ^=prev  Alt+u=sections  /=search
  q=quit" is always visible at the top of the screen.

# SYNOPSIS
# config_help [section]
# config_help --help
#
# DESCRIPTION
# Opens the offline fish shell configuration manual in the best available
# pager. Falls back through ov -> bat -> man -> less -> cat.
# If a section keyword is provided, the pager opens at the first heading
# that matches the keyword. Lookup order: docs/fish-config.index (exact
# keyword aliases), then a normalized heading scan as fallback.
# When opened with ov a sticky navigation hint is shown at the top of the
# screen. Pass --help or -h to print usage and navigation key reference.
#
# ARGUMENTS
# section Optional keyword to jump to a matching section heading
# --help Print usage and navigation reference, then exit
# -h Alias for --help
#
# RETURNS
# 0 Manual displayed (or --help printed)
# 1 Documentation file not found
#
# EXAMPLE
# config_help
# config_help keybindings
# config_help pkg
# config_help fish-deps
# config_help --help
