git_config_parse_key() returns #define-d error codes, but negated. This negation is merely a convenience to other parts of config.c that don't bother inspecting the return value before passing it along. But:
a) There's no good reason why those callers couldn't negate the value themselves.
b) In other callers, this value eventually gets fed to exit(3), and those callers need to sanitize the negative value (and they sometimes do so lossily, by overriding the return value with CONFIG_INVALID_KEY).
c) We want to move that into a separate library, and returning only negative values no longer makes as much sense.
Change git_config_parse_key() to return positive values instead, and adjust callers accordingly. Callers that sanitize the negative sign for exit(3) now pass the return value opaquely, fixing a bug where "git config <key with no section or name>" results in a different exit code depending on whether we are setting or getting config. Callers that wanted to pass along a negative value now negate the return value themselves.
