Correct and extend wxConfig::Create() documentation.

Replace mentions of the non-existent wxCONFIG_WIN32_NATIVE with
wxUSE_CONFIG_NATIVE. Also explain what does the "best implementation" really
mean and link to wxAppTraitsBase::CreateConfig().

Closes #12787.

+        Create a new config object and sets it as the current one.
+
+        This function will create the most appropriate implementation of
+        wxConfig available for the current platform. By default this means that
+        the system registry will be used for storing the configuration
+        information under MSW and a file under the user home directory (see
+        wxStandardPaths::GetUserConfigDir()) elsewhere.
+
+        If you prefer to use the configuration files everywhere, you can define
+        @c wxUSE_CONFIG_NATIVE to 0 when compiling wxWidgets. Or you can simply
+        always create wxFileConfig explicitly.
+
+        Finally, if you want to create a custom wxConfig subclass you may
+        change this function behaviour by overriding wxAppTraits::CreateConfig()
+        to create it. An example when this could be useful could be an
+        application which could be installed either normally (in which case the
+        default behaviour of using wxRegConfig is appropriate) or in a
+        "portable" way in which case a wxFileConfig with a file in the program
+        directory would be used and the choice would be done in CreateConfig()
+        at run-time.
