core.whitespace: documentation updates.

Browse Source 
This adds description of core.whitespace to the manual page of git-config,
and updates the stale description of whitespace handling in the manual
page of git-apply.

Also demote "strip" to a synonym status for "fix" as the value of --whitespace
option given to git-apply.

When applying a patch, detect a new or modified line

the command outputs warning messages and applies the
