After some tedious research in the GUI and backend code, this hopefully covers all applicable parameters for each versioning strategy. Some factual errors and outdated information are also updated.

This kind of mixes up the config file reference part with the user-facing overall description of the versioning mechanism. However, the same blurry distinction applies to the users/config chapter overall. I've tried to keep it mostly readable by collecting the option reference list at the end under a separate heading.

The current text talks about configuring the location of the versions
folder (from the default .stversions) only in context of the staggered
strategy.  In fact, all but external versioning do support this
configuration now.
Add descriptions for all of the <versioning> config sub-elements.
Move some detailed info from the overall description into the
respective option reference.  Use stconf: as default domain for
shorter option cross-references and text roles.
Mention the applicable config options for each versioning strategy in
the text, linked to the option reference.

Rewrap changed paragraphs for a maximum width of 80 characters.  Two
spaces after each full stop.

…up (syncthing#813)

The option "restartOnWakeup" was removed in Syncthing v1.21.0 [1]. Thus,
remove it from the Docs too, as it is no longer functional and may
confuse new users [2].
