When the user updates any config variable from the options menu, the new config gets saved, but the in-memory state of the config variables is not updated. This results in the old settings being used until the user either opens the options menu again (which triggers a call to load_config), or re-starts git-gui. This change fixes that problem by re-loading the config variables when the Save button is pressed in the options menu.
