Optimize the startup time of git-send-email by using an amended config_regexp() function to retrieve the list of config keys and values we're interested in. For boolean keys we can handle the [true|false] case ourselves, and the "--get" case didn't need any parsing. Let's leave "--path" and other "--bool" cases to "git config". I'm not bothering with the "undef" or "" case (true and false, respectively), let's just punt on those and others and have "git config --type=bool" handle it. This brings the runtime of "git send-email" from ~60-~70ms to a very steady ~40ms on my test box. We now run just one "git config" invocation on startup instead of 8, the exact number will differ based on the local sendemail.* config. I happen to have 8 of those set. This brings the runtime of t9001-send-email.sh from ~13s down to ~12s for me. The change there is less impressive as many of those tests set various config values, and we're also getting to the point of diminishing returns for optimizing "git send-email" itself.
