Add generic OAuth fields to the config docs

Browse Source 
I did the best I could and I might have gotten the proxy fields wrong because I haven't used them myself. I tried to infer what they did by reading the code.

| `local_timeline` | Whether or not the instance reader (and the _Public_ option on blogs) is enabled | true |
| `user_invites` | Who is allowed to send user invites, if anyone. A blank value disables invites for all users. Valid choices: _empty_, `user`, or `admin` | user |
| `default_visibility` | The default visibility setting for newly-created blogs. Valid choices: `unlisted` (default), `public`, or `private` | public |
## OAuth
There are several possible OAuth configuration blocks for different implementations.
### Generic OAuth
This is for the most general case that should work with many spec-compliant OAuth providers.
| Field | Description | Example value |
| ----- | ----------- | ------- |
| `client_id` | The client ID, or client key, associated with WriteFreely in the OAuth provider application. | _(a long string of characters)_ |
| `client_secret` | The client secret associated with WriteFreely in the OAuth provider application. | _(a long string of characters)_ |
| `host` | The base url of the OAuth provider application, including the protocol. | https://example.com |
| `display_name` | The human-readable name of the OAuth service that appears on the login button, will appear as "Log in with [display_name]". | _(name of the application)_ |
| `callback_proxy` | The url of an inbound proxy that sits in front of the default `/oauth/callback/generic` endpoint. Use if you want the OAuth callback to be somewhere other than that generic location. Default is blank.| https://example.com/whatever/path |
| `callback_proxy_api` | The url of an outbound proxy to send your OAuth requests through. Default is blank. | https://my-proxy.example.com |
| `token_endpoint` | The API endpoint of the OAuth provider implementation to obtain an access token by presenting an authorization grant or refresh token. This is a fragment of a url, appended to `host` as described above. | /oauth/token |
| `inspect_endpoint` | The API endpoint of the OAuth provider that returns basic user info given their authentication information. This is a fragment of a url, appended to `host` as described above. | /oauth/userinfo |
| `auth_endpoint` | The API endpoint of the OAuth provider that returns an authorization grant. This is a fragment of a url, appended to `host` as described above. | public |
| `scope` | A scope or set of scopes required by some OAuth providers. This will usually be blank in this config file, and is set to "read_user" by default. | read_user |
| `allow_disconnect` | Whether or not an individual user is allowed to disconnect this OAuth provider from their account. | false |
