rootiest 569d17a342 feat(help): integrate config-help into fish's help command
Rename config_help → config-help and add a help wrapper that
intercepts 'help config [section]', forwarding sub-topics to
config-help. Update README and docs to use 'help config' as the
preferred interface so offline docs feel like a natural extension
of fish's built-in help system.

# 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
