[PATCH v2] config.c: NULL check when reading protected config

<pull.1299.git.git.1658855372189.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Glen Choo <chooglen@google.com>

In read_protected_config(), check whether each file name is NULL before attempting to read it, and add a BUG() call to git_config_from_file_with_options() to make this error easier to catch in the future.

The NULL checks mirror what do_git_config_sequence() does (which read_protected_config() is modeled after). Without these NULL checks, multiple tests fail with "make SANITIZE=address", e.g. in the final test of t4010, xdg_config is NULL causing us to call fopen(NULL).

    config.c: NULL check when reading protected config
    
    This fixes the SANITIZE=address failure on master, That was introduced
    by gc/bare-repo-discovery. Thanks again to Ævar for the original report
    [1] and for proposing a way to catch this in CI [2].
    
    Changes in v2:
    
     * Fix typo
     * Add BUG() to git_config_from_file_with_options()
