Conflicting documentation about pyproject configuration for configuring the start_line

[exarkun]

http://towncrier.readthedocs.io/en/actual-freaking-docs/configuration.html says to put "start_line" item in to pyproject.toml

The implementation ignores this and uses "start_string" instead.

i ran into this issue as well. I noticed it has start_line in the README.rst as well. I'm more than willing to either update the docs or the code to reflect what it should be. Should it be start_line or start_string?

Modifying the documentation would cause fewer issues than changing the code. If you change the code, everyone using the package who figured out they should use start_string will see their documentation be messed up. Or, you could create an alias such that both start_string and start_line work. Although, it is usually best to keep the config file neat to avoid confusion.

I would actually propose to name this setting start_after. I feel that start_line or start_string could be understood as "my changelog will start with this particular line or string", which isn't accurate.
