Cover letter [PATCH v5 00/11] config: remove global state from config iteration

As promised, this version addresses the comments on v3.

= Changes since v4

- Squash 6-7/12 since test_must_fail doesn't catch BUG()
- Move a hunk to later in the series where it belongs
- Replace a memcpy with *a = *b

= Changes since v3

- Rebase onto newer 'master'
- Move the 'remove UNUSED from tr2_cfg_cb' hunk from 9/12 -> 8/12. It should have been there all along; v3 8/12 didn't build at all.

@@ Commit message
* git_config_parse_parameter() hasn't been setting config source information, so plumb "kvi" there too.

- * "git config --get-urlmatch --show-scope" iterates config to collect
- values, but then attempts to display the scope after config iteration.
- Fix this by copying the "kvi" value in the collection phase so that it
- can be read back later. This means that we can now support "git config
- --get-urlmatch --show-origin" (we don't allow this combination of args
- because of this bug), but that is left unchanged for now.
+ * Several sites in builtin/config.c have been calling current_config_*()
+ functions outside of config callbacks (indirectly, via the
+ format_config() helper), which means they're reading state that isn't
+ set correctly:

- * "git config --default" doesn't have config source metadata when
- displaying the default value. Fix this by treating the default value
- as if it came from the command line (e.g. like we do with "git -c" or
- "git config --file"), using kvi_from_param().
+ * "git config --get-urlmatch --show-scope" iterates config to collect
+ values, but then attempts to display the scope after config
+ iteration, causing the "unknown" scope to be shown instead of the
+ config file's scope. It's clear that this wasn't intended: we knew
+ that "--get-urlmatch" couldn't show config source metadata, which is
+ why "--show-origin" was marked incompatible with "--get-urlmatch"
+ when it was introduced [1]. It was most likely a mistake that we
+ allowed "--show-scope" to sneak through.
