…nfig Configuration Selector copies sample configs to ~/linuxcnc/configs on package installs but runs them in place on RIP builds. This was documented only in pickconfig.tcl source comments. Add user-facing notes covering when the copy happens (package install vs RIP) and the debug_pickconfig=1 override for forcing a copy from a RIP build. Refs LinuxCNC#3924.
