Clarify GAM documentation #7384

User expressed the following with Erin LeDell:

Perhaps my inexperience with GAM in general, but the know locations seem to come out of nowhere, and I don't understand how this behaves when the columns are factors. The formula interface in mgcv makes it very easy and clear how to specify different spline types and I suppose that I am just used to the automatic know selection that it offers.

We need to:

  1. explain how to define splines types
  2. how to define knot points. Can we do this automatically like R?
