[0/2] bugreport: report configs from safelist

Message

Some configs are useful to know when trying to diagnose or reproduce an
issue. However, other configs are sensitive and should not be shared
with others. Finally, many tools which wrap or augment Git also use
Git's config system, and so may store sensitive information which Git
is not aware of. Therefore, it makes sense for git-bugreport to gather
configs which Git developers have decided are safe and useful - a
safelist - but no other configs which the user may have. This list of
safe configs can be expanded over time and is generated from
documentation.

This series is based on 'master' but was cherry-picked from quite some
time ago, so it's possible there's some anachronism I missed reviewing
it myself :)
