Enable hunk staging mode by default (#4780)

- **PR Description**

In #4684 we improved the hunk selection behavior to work on blocks of
changes instead of actual hunks, and I find this so useful that I wanted
to use it by default. In #4685 I added a user config to make hunk
selection the default, but I made it an opt-in config because I was
worried that users might not find out how to switch back to line
selection if needed.

To address this concern, in this PR I add a popup that explains this the
first time the user enters staging; there is also a breaking changes
notice at startup, and we improve the options display at the bottom of
the screen to be clearer about this. Hopefully these measures are enough
to not confuse people.

Closes #4759.
