[PATCH v3 0/2] Improve consistency of git-var

This patch series makes a few distinct improvements to git-var to support the change to git_editor() prompted [here][1] and ultimately support that patch to introduce GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR as a handled logical variable.

Changes since v2:

 * Nix premature assignment of git_var and val, preferring to let the
   compiler tell us when they're being used before init.
 * Factor out sane_unset_all_editors for tests to reduce duplication
 * Use more specific test_* helper functions

Sean Allred (2):
  var: do not print usage() with a correct invocation
  var: allow GIT_EDITOR to return null
