[PATCH 3/7] trace2: handle NULL values in tr2_sysenv config callback

From
Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

Message-ID
<20231207071124.GC1276005@coredump.intra.peff.net>

If you have config with an implicit bool like:
  [trace2]
  envvars

we'll segfault, as we unconditionally try to xstrdup() the value. We should instead detect and complain, as a boolean value has no meaning here. The same is true for every variable in tr2_sysenv_settings (and this patch covers them all, as we check them in a loop).
