[develop]: Update ConfigWorkflow chapter to HEAD of develop (#915)

* This PR updates the ConfigWorkflow.rst file to align with the current state of config_defaults.yaml in develop.
* This PR also adds in-code documentation for undocumented variables in config_defaults.yaml.
* There are a few odds & ends in other parts of the documentation to fix errors or make updates that came into develop very recently.
