[PATCH v5 1/3] config: rename `git_etc_config()`

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Apr 19, 2021, 12:31 UTC
Message-ID
<1e8899408a249abd3743b2728434352fba701430.1618835148.git.ps@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1618835148.git.ps@pks.im>

The `git_etc_gitconfig()` function retrieves the system-level path of the configuration file. We're about to introduce a way to override it via an environment variable, at which point the name of this function would start to become misleading.

Rename the function to `git_system_config()` as a preparatory step. While at it, the function is also refactored to pass memory ownership to the caller. This is done to better match semantics of `git_global_config()`, which is going to be introduced in the next commit.
