v3:
Thanks Eric, Jeff, Junio for discussion!
* use git_config_get_value instead of git_config_get_string in patch 1
* Improve commit message to explain why strbuf_list_free frees more memory
  (hence is the right thing to do)
* the bundle code doesn't have a dedicated return variable,
  but the error path always returns -1  
* removed a duplicate of
        +	if (!bundle_to_stdout)
        +		close(bundle_fd);
  in the bundle patch.
* This applies on v2.8.0.

v2: Thanks Eric, Jeff, Junio for discussion, I picked up all hints and here is a v2.

* drop the overallocation patches (1&2)
* use git_config_get_string instead of its _const equivalent, such that
  we don't need a cast when freeing in git_config_get_notes_strategy
* Use strbuf_list_free instead of cooking our own.
* have a dedicated error exit path in bundle.c, create_bundle

v1: One of my first patches to Git were cleanup patches, and I fell back to my old pattern here, while thinking on how to write better commit messages for the submodule bugfixes I currently have in flight.

Just some one liners to not leak memory or file descriptors.
They are bundled as a series, but no patch relies on any predessor.
This applies on v2.8.0.

Thanks, Stefan
