Introduce a new config_gitmodules_set function to write config values to the
.gitmodules file.
This is in preparation for a future change which will use the function
to write to the .gitmodules file in a more controlled way instead of
using "git config -f .gitmodules".

Not sure about the name, and maybe it can go in config.c for symmetry with
config_from_gitmodules?
