`git_config_parse_key()` is used to sanitize the input key. Some callers of the function like `git_config_set_multivar_in_file()` get the per-sanitized key directly from the user so it becomes necessary to raise an error specifying what went wrong when the entered key is defective. Other callers like `configset_find_element()` get their keys from the git itself so a return value signifying error would be enough. The error output shown to the user is useless and confusing in this case so add a show_err flag to suppress errors in such cases.
