Carlos Martín Nieto 2974aa94c3 Determine variable type at runtime
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.
