Add `git_die_config` that dies printing the line number and the file name
of the highest priority value for the configuration variable `key`. A custom
error message is also printed before dying, specified by the caller, which can
be skipped if `err` argument is set to NULL.
It has usage in non-callback based config value retrieval where we can
raise an error and die if there is a semantic error.
For example,
if (!git_config_get_value(key, value)){
if (!strcmp(value, foo))
git_config_die(key, value: `%s` is illegal, value);
else
/* do work */
}
