[PATCH v3 1/5] git-p4: add optional type specifier to gitConfig reader

[larsxschneider@gmail.com]

From: Lars Schneider <larsxschneider@gmail.com>

The functions “gitConfig” and “gitConfigBool” are almost identical. Make “gitConfig” more generic by adding an optional type specifier. Use the type specifier “—bool” with “gitConfig” to implement “gitConfigBool. This prepares the implementation of other type specifiers such as “—int”.
