config.txt: clarify that add.ignore-errors is deprecated
The old text gave an impression that even in a new repository using old form might be safer. Only Git from pre 1.7.0 days choke on the correctly named variable, which is ancient by today's standard. We have no intention to remove the support for deprecated ones, but let's make sure that we do not give room for confused questions such as "why does core.sparse-checkout not work, when add.ignore-errors does?"
