Re: [PATCH 0/3] "git config --get-urlmatch $section.$key $url"

So here is a bit of refactoring to extract the logic to find the
entry $section.<urlpattern>.$key from the configuration that best
matches the given $url to answer "what value $section.$key should be
for $url?" out of http.c (primarily because we never want to link
"git cofnig" with the cURL library), and use it from "git config" to
implement Peff's idea to extend "git config".

The first step is a pure code movement, plus some renaming of the
functions.

The second step is to factor out the code to handle --bool, --int, etc.
as a helper so that the new codepath can use it.

The last step currently duplicates the logic in http_options(), but
we might want to refactor it further so that the two functions can
share more code.  We hopefully can get rid of test-url-normalize and
instead use "git config --get-urlmatch" in the tests that protect
the http.<url>.config topic.

I haven't been following this topic too closely and I don't have any
feel for how long it will take to get to the end-game. However, unless
the removal of test-url-normalize is coming soon, could I request that
you apply my patch (or squash it into this series)? At present, I have
to apply the patch before building the next and pu branches; OK it's not
too onerous, but still ... :-P

Will squash in.  Thanks for a reminder.
