docs: correct documentation about eol attribute
The documentation for the eol attribute states that it is "effectively setting the text attribute". However, this implies that it forces the text attribute to always be set, which has not been the case since 6523728 ("convert: unify the "auto" handling of CRLF", 2016-06-28). Let's avoid confusing users (and the present author when trying to describe Git's behavior to others) by clearly documenting in which cases the "eol" attribute has effect. Specifically, the attribute always has an effect unless the file is explicitly set as -text, or the file is set as text=auto and the file is detected as binary.
