recommend making config world readable rather than setting owner

Browse Source 
There is no secret material that needs to be unreadable except to the
daemon, but if there were, the current instructions never recommended
setting a locked down mode.

The daemon doesn't need write access either.

Recommending chown rather than making the config world readable as is
typical for bog standard system configs, is confusing and inconsistent
with e.g. the in house AUR packaging. It also might be erroneously
interpreted as a requirement, which is challenging for packaging systems
that don't support distributing files/directories owned by non-root
users.
