[PATCH 09/10] config API: add "string" version of *_value_multi(), fix segfaults

Fix numerous and mostly long-standing segfaults in consumers of the *_config_*value_multi() API. As discussed in the preceding commit an empty key in the config syntax yields a "NULL" string, which these users would give to strcmp() (or similar), resulting in segfaults.

As this change shows, these non-test users of the *_config_*value_multi() API didn't really want such an an unsafe and low-level API, let's give them something with the safety of git_config_get_string() instead.

This fix is similar to what the *_string() functions and others acquired in[1] and [2]. Namely introducing and using a safer *_config_*value_multi_string() variant of the low-level *_config_*value_multi_string() function.

This fixes segfaults in code introduced in:
  - d811c8e17c6 (versionsort: support reorder prerelease suffixes, 2015-02-26)
  - c026557a373 (versioncmp: generalize version sort suffix reordering, 2016-12-08)
  - a086f921a72 (submodule: decouple url and submodule interest, 2017-03-17)
  - a6be5e6764a (log: add log.excludeDecoration config option, 2020-04-16)
  - 92156291ca8 (log: add default decoration filter, 2022-08-05)
  - 50a044f1e40 (gc: replace config subprocesses with API calls, 2022-09-27)

There are now two remaining user of the low-level API, one is the "t/helper/test-config.c" code added in [3]. The other we'll address in a subsequent commit.

As seen in the preceding commit we need to give the "t/helper/test-config.c" caller these "NULL" entries. We thus cannot alter the underlying git_configset_get_value_multi_1() function itself to make it "safe".

Such a thing would also be undesirable, as casting or forbidding NULL values might only be one potential use-case of the underlying function. It's better to have a "raw" low-level function, and corresponding wrapper functions that coerce its values. The callback pattern being used here will make it easy to introduce e.g. a "multi" variant which coerces its values to "bool", "int", "path" etc.
