[PATCH v6 3/4] advice: revamp advise API

In-Reply-To
<pull.548.v6.git.1582778112.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Heba Waly <heba.waly@gmail.com>

Currently it's very easy for the advice library's callers to miss checking the visibility step before printing an advice. Also, it makes more sense for this step to be handled by the advice library.

Add a new advise_if_enabled function that checks the visibility of advice messages before printing.

Add a new helper advise_enabled to check the visibility of the advice if the caller needs to carry out complicated processing based on that value.

A list of config variables 'advice_config_keys' is added to be used by list_config_advices() instead of 'advice_config[]' because we'll get rid of 'advice_config[]' and the global variables once we migrate all the callers to use the new APIs.
