docs: document default template aliases instead of config knobs

I'm going to remove the corresponding config knobs.

As an example of "brackets" short id, I put a simplified version. It's
unlikely that the "rest()" gets empty for hashes of 12-char long.

### Display of commit and change ids
```toml
ui.unique-prefixes = "brackets" # Does not rely on color
```
Whether to highlight a unique prefix for commit & change ids. Possible
values are `styled`, `brackets` and `none` (default: `styled`).
Can be customized by the `format_short_id()` template alias.
```toml
ui.log-id-preferred-length = 6
[template-aliases]
# Highlight unique prefix and show at least 12 characters (default)
'format_short_id(id)' = 'id.shortest(12)'
# Just the shortest possible unique prefix
'format_short_id(id)' = 'id.shortest()'
# Show unique prefix and the rest surrounded by brackets
'format_short_id(id)' = 'id.shortest(12).prefix() "[" id.shortest(12).rest() "]"'
# Always show 12 characters
'format_short_id(id)' = 'id.short(12)'
```
Determines the number of characters displayed for `jj log` for change or commit
ids. The default is 12. If the `ui.unique-prefixes` option is not set to `none`,
this option will be ignored if the number of characters it specifies is
insufficient to print the entire unique prefix of an id.
This option can be convenient to set on a per-repository level.
### Relative timestamps
```toml
ui.relative-timestamps = true
```
Can be customized by the `format_timestamp()` template alias.
False by default, but setting to true will change timestamps to be rendered
as `x days/hours/seconds ago` instead of being rendered as a full timestamp.
```toml
[template-aliases]
# Full timestamp in ISO 8601 format (default)
'format_timestamp(timestamp)' = 'timestamp'
# Relative timestamp rendered as "x days/hours/seconds ago"
'format_timestamp(timestamp)' = 'timestamp.ago()'
```
### Author format
Can be customized by the `format_short_signature()` template alias.
```toml
ui.log-author-format = 'username'
[template-aliases]
# Full email address (default)
'format_short_signature(signature)' = 'signature.email()'
# Both name and email address
'format_short_signature(signature)' = 'signature'
# Username part of the email address
'format_short_signature(signature)' = 'signature.username()'
```
Supported values are,
- `none` for no author information,
- `full` for both the name and email,
- `name` for just the name,
- `username` for username part of the email,
- (default) `email` (or any other gibberish for that matter) for the full email.
## Pager
The default pager is can be set via `ui.pager` or the `PAGER` environment
