[PATCH v2] config: add string mapping for enum config_scope

If a user is interacting with their config files primarily by the 'git config' command, using the location flags (--global, --system, etc) then they may be more interested to see the scope of the config file they are editing, rather than the filepath.

Since v1, the only change is removing locale markers around the strings returned from the helper.

As mentioned in lore.kernel.org/git/20191211232540.GE8464@google.com I'm still not sure whether it's better to return "local" for CONFIG_SCOPE_REPO. Since that's the scope returned for both local and worktree (.git/config, .git/config.worktree) configs, I'm happy to leave it the way it is to indicate "one of the configs in the repo".
