[PATCH v3 0/4] maintenance: use XDG config if it exists

[Kristoffer Haugsbakk <code@khaugsbakk.name>]

I use the conventional XDG config path for the global configuration. This
path is always used except for `git maintenance register` and
`unregister`.

§ Changes since v2 (by patch)

• config: factor out global config file retrieval
  • Remove doc on `git_global_config`
