doc: clarify gitcredentials path component matching

it must match exactly (potentially leaving readers with the false hope
that it would support a more flexible prefix match).

match: Git compares the protocols exactly.
If the "pattern" URL does include a path component, then this too must match
exactly: the context `https://example.com/bar/baz.git` will match a config
entry for `https://example.com/bar/baz.git` (in addition to matching the config
entry for `https://example.com`) but will not match a config entry for
`https://example.com/bar`.
