The description for the `-e`/`--edit` option references scopes
inconsistently: system and global are referenced by their option name
(`--system`/`--global`), but repository (`--local` is not. Additionally,
neither `--worktree` nor `--file` are referenced at all, despite also
being a valid options.

Update the description to mention all four available scopes as well as
`--file`, referencing each consistently by their option name.

I know that this series has been merged to `next` already, but as it
didn't get any on-list review I just wanted to mention that this series
looks good to me.

Yeah, thanks, both of you.
