It is always nice to see documentation gaps filled.

The `replay.refAction` configuration variable was indeed left
dangling without a proper link from the main command documentation,
which is embarrassing.  I wonder if we can add simple "doc-lint"
rule or two to prevent similar mistakes from happening again?

Placing `include::config/replay.adoc[]` in `config.adoc`
alphabetically between `repack` and `rerere` is correct, as the list
is alphabetical.

Adding the `CONFIGURATION` section near the end of `git-replay.adoc`
is also the standard way we expose configuration variables to the
command's manual page.

Looking good.
