Add a new configuration value, 'credential.interactive', to specify to the

So, the other helpers are also supposed to check for the variable
and fail when it has to go interactive now.
I would hold off from saying "supposed to" but Git is definitely hinting
towards that behavior.
Perhaps I'm just hung up on the idea that we are not adding a new wrinkle
to the "contract" but recommending a good thing that was previously not part
of the interaction.
