Such a list preserves the order the variables were first read in which
will be useful later for merging different data-sets. Furthermore,
reading and writing out the same configuration should not reorganize
the variables, which could happen when iterating through all the items
in a hash table.
A hash table is overkill for this small a data-set anyway.

git_config_open shouldn't have to initialise variables that are only
used inside config_parse and its callees.

Config variables should be interpreted at run-time, as we don't know if a
zero means false or zero, or if yes means true or "yes".
As a variable has no intrinsic type, git_cvtype is gone and the public
API takes care of enforcing a few rules.

These functions can be used to query or modify the variables in a
given configuration. No sanity checking is done on the variable names.
This is mostly meant as an API preview.

If cfg_readline consumes the line, then parse_section_header will read
past it and if we read a character, parse_variable won't have the full
name.
This solution is a bit hackish, but it's the simplest way to get the
code to parse correctly.

Save the location of the name in section_out instead of returning it
as an int. Use the return code to signal success or failure.
