config doc: quote paths, fixing tilde-interpretation

Browse Source 
The --global section of git-config(1) currently reads like:

  For writing options: write to global /.gitconfig file rather than the
                                       ^
				       start tilde

  repository .git/config, write to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config file if
  this file exists and the/.gitconfig file doesn’t.
                          ^
			  end tilde

Instead of tilde (~) being interpreted literally, asciidoc subscripts
the text between the two tildes.  To fix this problem, use backticks (`)
to quote all the paths in the file uniformly, just like config.txt does.

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config::
Second user-specific configuration file. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set
or empty, $HOME/.config/git/config will be used. Any single-valued
or empty, `$HOME/.config/git/config` will be used. Any single-valued
variable set in this file will be overwritten by whatever is in
~/.gitconfig. It is a good idea not to create this file if
`~/.gitconfig`. It is a good idea not to create this file if
you sometimes use older versions of Git, as support for this
file was added fairly recently.
