core.autocrlf documentation: mention the crlf attribute

Browse Source 
The description of the configuration variable is obsolete and
wrong (saying only file content is used), not just incomplete.
It has used the attribute mechanism for a long time.

The documentation of gitattributes mentions the core.autocrlf
configuration variable in its description of crlf attribute.
Refer to the gitattributes documentation from here as well.
