Document how to add a list of values to the config file

See original GitHub issue

Related to #7803 (Splitting into 2 as suggested by @pradyunsg)

It would be helpful to document how to add a “list” of values to a section in the ini file. This helps generalize the problem defined in the aforementioned issue.

This helps readers learn how to add multiple links to find-links as already documented in the user guide, but also to apply this knowledge into other areas.

Perhaps it would fit as a “protip” sort of section for the config. For example:


It is possible to **append** values to a section within an ini file such as the pip.ini file.

.. code:: ini
    
    [install]
    find-links =
        http://mirror1.example.com
        http://mirror2.example.com

This enables users to add additional values in the order of entry.
