Re: [PATCH v4 1/3] config: rename `git_etc_config()`

> 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.
