doc: clarify that "git daemon --user=<user>" option does not export HOME=~user
The fact that we don't set $HOME may confuse admins who expect
~<user>/.gitconfig to be used, because that is not what we try to
read. And worse, since 96b9e0e3, a git-daemon started by root is
likely to fail to run at all, as the user we switch to generally
cannot read ~root.
