Currently `git_config()` returns an integer signifying an error code.
During rewrites of the function most of the code was shifted to
`git_config_with_options()`. `git_config_with_options()` normally
returns positive values if its `config_source` parameter is set as NULL,
as most errors are fatal, and non-fatal potential errors are guarded
by "if" statements that are entered only when no error is possible.
Still a negative value can be returned in case of race condition between
`access_or_die()` & `git_config_from_file()`. Also, all callers of
`git_config()` ignore the return value except for one case in branch.c.
Change `git_config()` return value to void and make it die if it receives
a negative value from `git_config_with_options()`.
