There are several tests in t1300-config.sh that validate failing
invocations of "git config". However, there are no tests that check
what happens when "git config" is asked to retrieve a value for a
missing key.
Add tests that check this for various combinations of "<section>.<key>"
and "<section>.<subsection>.<key>".
