Manually tested config migration: ran a command w/ this version and checked that netrc_machine_name was replaced by machine_name in the config file.

Let's explain that they'll be read from the configuration file or macOS keychain so users don't get worried the --save functionality isn't going away.

I think we had Windows support for this too... maybe we can drop the part about "Unix systems" just in case.
