Denton Liu ef09e7ddf3 Documentation/config/checkout: replace sq with backticks
The modern style for Git documentation is to use backticks to quote
any command-line documenation so that it is typeset in monospace.
Replace all single quotes with backticks to conform to this.

checkout.defaultRemote::
When you run `git checkout <something>`
or `git switch <something>` and only have one
remote, it may implicitly fall back on checking out and
tracking e.g. `origin/<something>`. This stops working as soon
as you have more than one remote with a `<something>`
reference. This setting allows for setting the name of a
preferred remote that should always win when it comes to
disambiguation. The typical use-case is to set this to
`origin`.
+
Currently this is used by linkgit:git-switch[1] and
linkgit:git-checkout[1] when `git checkout <something>`
or `git switch <something>`
will checkout the `<something>` branch on another remote,
and by linkgit:git-worktree[1] when `git worktree add` refers to a
remote branch. This setting might be used for other checkout-like
commands or functionality in the future.
