The documentation for the fsck.<msg-id> and receive.fsck.<msg-id>

same for fsck.skipList.
Overall the result reads a lot easily.   Especially this part:
+	During fsck git may find issues with legacy data which
+	wouldn't be generated by current versions of git, and which
+	wouldn't be sent over the wire if `transfer.fsckObjects` was
+	set. This feature is intended to support working with legacy
+	repositories containing such data.
that adds only a few sentences and clarifies the impact of
"legacy"-ness to this issue rather nicely.

I first found it a bit odd that fsck.* and receive.fsck.* are
discussed with an apparent asymmetry but it actually is correct,
because we haven't introduced fetch.fsck.* at this step in the
series.

Thanks.
