Adding a new config iteration function that let's you iterate
over just the config entries that match a particular regular
expression. The old foreach becomes a simple use of this with
an empty pattern.
This also fixes an apparent bug in the existing `git_config_foreach`
where returning a non-zero value from the iteration callback was
not correctly aborting the iteration and the returned value was
not being propogated back to the caller of foreach.
Added to tests to cover all these changes.
Instead of just setting the value to NULL, which gives unwanted
results when asking for that variable after deleting it, delete the
variable from the list and re-write the file.
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.
