cquery: support config() on arbitrary configurations, update documentation.

In support of "cquery somepath: easy mode": https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZbcOi8htQrKichHGWq6Dc8-HI7oFjvoBYeRoTedsgWY/edit

This also updates the docs on how cquery resolves labels into configured targets. I acknowledge this is a broader theme than `somepath` and deserves its own place as a more core component of cquery semantics. I'm not prepared to refactor that deeply w.r.t. this change - I'd rather do that refactoring in its own dedicated change.

RELNOTES: cquery's config() now supports arbitrary configurations.
