[Docs] Clarify the switch to `canonifyurls = false` as default

Quote from @spf13: "I also think it's the better default
and should continue to be the case going forward."

Also mention the use of `hugo config` to check the current value
of `canonifyurls`, thanks to suggestion by @bep.

Fixes #802

+To find out the current value of `canonifyurls` for your website, you may use the handy `hugo config` command added in v0.13:
 
-<tr>
-<td>v0.10</td>
-<td>2014-03-01</td>
-<td><code>canonifyurls = true</code></td>
-</tr>
+    hugo config | grep -i canon
