[PATCH v2 4/5] config: add git_configset_alloc() and git_configset_clear_and_free()

[Josh Steadmon <steadmon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Add git_configset_alloc() and git_configset_clear_and_free() functions
so that callers can manage config_set structs on the heap. This also
allows non-C external consumers to treat config_sets as opaque structs.
