Subject: [PATCH] config: fix short help of unset flags

From: René Scharfe <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2025 22:00:05 +0100

The flags --all and --value of "git config unset" don't make the command
"replace" or "show" anything, they are about selecting what to unset.
Change their help text accordingly.
