config: use --value=<pattern> consistently
This option was introduced in a series of commits from fe3ccc7aab (Merge branch 'ps/config-subcommands', 2024-05-15). But two styles were used for the value provided to the option: 1. Synopsis: `--value=<value>` 2. Deprecated Modes: `--value=<pattern>` (2) is also used in the synopsis on the command. Use (2) consistently throughout since it’s a pattern in the general case (`value` sounds more generic).
