transfer doc: move fetch.credentialsInUrl to "transfer" config namespace
Rename the "fetch.credentialsInUrl" configuration variable introduced
in 6dcbdc0d661 (remote: create fetch.credentialsInUrl config,
2022-06-06) to "transfer".
There are existing exceptions, but generally speaking the
"<namespace>.<var>" configuration should only apply to command
described in the "namespace" (and its sub-commands, so e.g. "clone.*"
or "fetch.*" might also configure "git-remote-https").
But in the case of "fetch.credentialsInUrl" we've got a configuration
variable that configures the behavior of all of "clone", "push" and
"fetch", someone adjusting "fetch.*" configuration won't expect to
have the behavior of "git push" altered, especially as we have the
pre-existing "{transfer,fetch,receive}.fsckObjects", which configures
different parts of the transfer dialog.
So let's move this configuration variable to the "transfer" namespace
before it's exposed in a release. We could add all of
"{transfer,fetch,pull}.credentialsInUrl" at some other time, but once
we have "fetch" configure "pull" such an arrangement would would be a
confusing mess, as we'd at least need to have "fetch" configure
"push" (but not the other way around), or change existing behavior.
