`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 pre-sanitized key directly from the user so it becomes
necessary to raise an error specifying what went wrong when the entered
key is syntactically malformed.
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 flag to suppress errors in such cases.

Hi Jeff,
I went through Junio's config guideline patch series
and the whole thread of underscore bug report and I also think
that pager.*.command is the right path to go.
If you want to relax the syntactic requirement (such as add '_' to
the current set of allowed chacters), I can work upon it but most of the
comments point that moving towards pager.*.command would be better.
p.s: I hope that I got the unsigned flag suggestion by Junio correctly.
