[PATCH 0/2] bugreport: report configs from safelist

Some configs are useful to know when trying to diagnose or reproduce an issue. However, other configs are sensitive and should not be shared with others. Finally, many tools which wrap or augment Git also use Git's config system, and so may store sensitive information which Git is not aware of. Therefore, it makes sense for git-bugreport to gather configs which Git developers have decided are safe and useful - a safelist - but no other configs which the user may have. This list of safe configs can be expanded over time and is generated from documentation.

This series is based on 'master' but was cherry-picked from quite some time ago, so it's possible there's some anachronism I missed reviewing it myself :)
