When referencing an existing commit, I think there is a preference to
use the output of:

  $ git show -s --format=reference 00bbdde141f
  00bbdde141 (builtin/config: introduce "set" subcommand, 2024-05-06)

Both "git config <config> <value>" and "git config set <config> <value>"
are functionally the same operation. So the motivation for this seems to
be to push/promote usage of the new "set" subcommand. I find the newer
interface to be more intuitive and in line with modern command
interfaces so updating the advice turn off messages here seems
reasonable to me.

There does appear to be other instances where the the advice turn off
instructions are open-coded and thus retain the prior format. This does
result in some inconsistency, which may not be a big deal, but maybe it
would make sense to also adjust those sites as part of this series as
also. Otherwise the changes in this patch look correct.
