For multivars, the "git-repo-config name value ^$" is useful but
nonintuitive and troublesome to do repeatedly (since the value is not
at the end of the command line). This commit simply adds an --add
option that adds a new value to a multivar. Particularly useful for
tracking a new branch on a remote:
git-repo-config --add remote.origin.fetch next:origin/next
Includes documentation so new users can find it and and a test to
make sure it works.

Found myself wanting this so decided to code it myself instead of
just complaining.
