broot: improve configuration

The `invocation` is an optional attribute, so it doesn't make sense to
use it as the key in an attribute set. See

  https://dystroy.org/broot/documentation/configuration/#verb-definition-attributes

Actually, `invocation` should not be defined when one wants to rebind
a built-in verb to a different key.

Also added documentation for the `key` attribute.
