Performance tip: recommend `git config feature.manyFiles true` for large repositories #7

Hello,

fern-git-status has a performance section in the front page README. That is helpful.

I suggest the following addition which really does help for Linux Kernel sized repositories:

For large repositories it is also recommended to enable the Git (2.24+) manyFiles feature:

git config feature.manyFiles true

This Git enhancement was done by Microsoft about a year ago in this commit:

https://github.com/git/git/commit/c6cc4c5afd2efd5f8081a3839b48d003de4e094f

It really does help git status performance in big repositories. Hence it also helps fern as well. Best to let fern-git-status users know about this.
