[PATCH 15/15] config: handle NULL values when listing colors and expiry dates

["Thomas Bachem via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Thomas Bachem <mail@thomasbachem.com>

Since 2d4ab5a885 (config: format colors quietly, 2026-02-23) and
9cb4a5e1ba (config: format expiry dates quietly, 2026-02-23),
"git config list --type=color" and "--type=expiry-date" pass every
value to color_parse_quietly() or parse_expiry_date(), which do not
handle NULL. So both segfault when any key in the configuration has
no value.

Skip such a key quietly, as both already do with a value that does
not parse, and as "--type=int" does with a key without a value.
