When parsing the maintenance strategy from config we allocate a config
string, but do not free it after parsing it. Plug this leak by instead
using `git_config_get_string_tmp()`, which does not allocate any memory.

This leak is exposed by t7900, but plugging it alone does not make the
test suite pass.
