t4018-diff-funcname.sh fails for the new `git_config()` which uses the configuration files caching layer internally. The test introduced in commit d64d6cdc checks that whether `xfuncname` takes precedence over `funcname` variable which was not guaranteed by config API previously and worked only because values were parsed and fed in order. The new `git_config()` only guarantees precedence order for variables with the same name.

Also `funcname` variable is deprecated and not documented properly. `xfuncname` is mentioned in the docs and takes precedence over `funcname`. Instead of removing `funcname` variable, enforce `xfuncname` precedence over `funcname` when the variables have the same subsection. Remove dependency that required values to be fed to userdiff_config() in parsing order for the test to succeed.

Note: this the only test that failed for the new git_config() rewrite.
