docs: man: document configuration files in kmscon(1)
This moves the description of kmscon.conf to a separate "Configuration"
section and adds some example kmscon.conf configuration lines.
This addresses #71 (at least, with this change in place I probably would
not have been momentarily confused by the exact syntax used in
kmsconf.conf).
(removed trailing whitespaces)
