The lossage of this block is because this general git_config()
callback routine that is used to read from any scope is no longer
used to pick up the sensitive variable.  Instead, we need to get it
with a different API, namely, git_protected_config().

It is probably is good that in the new code we are not encouraging
folks to write random comparisons on current_config_scope(), and
instead uniformly use a git_protected_config().  That may promote
consistency.

An obvious alternative to achieve the same consistency would be to
introduce a helper, and rewrite (instead of removing) the above part
like so:

	if (in_protected_scope()) {
		... parse sensitive variable ...
	}

We would not need any other change to this file in this patch if we
go that route, I suspect.

Where we used to just do git_config(upload_pack_config), we now need
to do a separate git_protected_config().  It feels a bit wasteful to
iterate over the same configset twice, but it is not like we are
doing the IO and text file parsing multiple times.  This looks quite
straight-forward.
