var doc: advertise current DEFAULT_PAGER and DEFAULT_EDITOR settings
Document the default pager and editor chosen at compile time in the git-var(1) manpage so users curious about what command _this_ copy of git will fall back to when EDITOR, VISUAL, and PAGER are unset can find the answer quickly. In builds leaving those settings uncustomized, this patch makes the manpage continue to say "usually vi" and "usually less" so the formatted documentation is usable for a wide audience including users of custom builds that change those settings. If you would like your copy of the docs to be less noncommittal, you will need to set DEFAULT_PAGER=less and DEFAULT_EDITOR=vi explicitly.
