Subject: [PATCH] installer: annotate the 'None' credential helper option

The 'None' credential helper option lacks context, which could lead
some users to unintentionally disable this feature and have to
authenticate repeatedly.

This change adds a brief note clarifying that this option is intended
strictly for headless environments, SSH-only workflows, or custom
credential helpers.
