config doc: improve exit code listing
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history

While at it, rewrite the `can not write to the config file` to
`the config file cannot be written` to be grammatically correct and a
proper sentence.

- can not write to the config file (ret=4),
- The section or key is invalid (ret=1),
- no section or name was provided (ret=2),
