1. The license header is technically not valid if it doesn't have a
copyright signature.
2. The COPYING file has been updated with the different licenses used in
the project.
3. The full GPLv2 header in each file annoys me.
It's not clear how git_config and git_config_file relate to one
another. Be more explicit about their relationship in the function
documentation.

"git_config_backend" have been renamed to "git_config_file", which
implements a generic interface to access a configuration file -- be it
either on disk, from a DB or whatever mumbojumbo.
I think this makes more sense.
Configuration options can come from different sources. Currently,
there is only support for reading them from a flat file, but it might
make sense to read it from a database at some point.
Move the parsing code into src/config_file.c and create an include
file include/git2/config_backend.h to allow for other backends to be
developed.

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.
