docs: note the type of core.attributesfile

> Path expansions are made the same way as for `core.excludesFile`.

required one to check the docs for 'core.excludesFile' and from there
the definition of the pathname variable type to understand the path

pathname type.

This change is basically the same rewording as was done to
'core.excludesFile' in dca83abd (config: describe 'pathname' value
type, 2016-04-29).
