Cover letter [PATCH 0/6] clean up parsing of maybe_bool

When we want to parse a boolean config item without dying on error, we call git_config_maybe_bool() which takes two arguments: the value to be parsed (obviously) and a name which is completely ignored. Junio has suggested to drop name and rename the function [1]. That effort even started shortly after that, by introducing git_parse_maybe_bool(). The new function currently only has a single user outside config.c.

Patch 5 of this series deprecates the old function and updates all callers to use git_parse_maybe_bool() instead. Patch 6 is a final
cleanup: one of the converted callers suddenly had an unused argument.

Patches 3 and 4 prepare for the switch. In particular, patch 4 ensures that the two functions are actually equivalent. In doing so, it affects git push --signed=.. which was very slightly inconsistent to the rest of Git.

Patch 2 adds a failing test in preparation for patch 4. Patch 1 corrects the documentation not to say "git push --sign=.." to make it a bit more obvious that the opposite typo is not being made in patches 2 and 4.

git_parse_maybe_bool is used in sb/diff-color-move, which is in "next". This series makes --color-moved and diff.colormoved consistent with other booleans. That should be a good thing, but cc Stefan to be sure.
