Document when config can be NULL (#17105)

Note that this also fixes a bug with FcFontList() where previously
it was NOT checking whether the config is up-to-date.  May want to
keep the old behavior and document that ScanInterval is essentially
unused internally (FcFontSetList uses it, but we can remove that
too).
