<pull.1660.v3.git.git.1707589943.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Philippe Blain <levraiphilippeblain@gmail.com>

In a previous commit we removed some hardcoded config variable names from function __git_complete_config_variable_name in the completion script by introducing a new function, __git_compute_first_level_config_vars_for_section.

The remaining hardcoded config variables are "second level" configuration variables, meaning 'branch.<name>.upstream', 'remote.<name>.url', etc. where <name> is a user-defined name.

Making use of the new existing --config flag to 'git help', add a new function, __git_compute_second_level_config_vars_for_section. This function takes as argument a config section name and computes the corresponding second-level config variables, i.e. those that contain a '<' which indicates the start of a placeholder. Note that as in __git_compute_first_level_config_vars_for_section added previsouly, we use indirect expansion instead of associative arrays to stay compatible with Bash 3 on which macOS is stuck for licensing reasons.

As explained in the previous commit, we use the existing pattern in the completion script of using global variables to cache the list of variables for each section.

Use this new function and the variables it defines in __git_complete_config_variable_name to remove hardcoded config variables, and add a test to verify the new function. Use a single 'case' for all sections with second-level variables names, since the code for each of them is now exactly the same.

Adjust the name of a test added in a previous commit to reflect that it now tests the added function.
