 + config: teach "git -c" to recognize an empty string

 "git -c section.var command" and "git -c section.var= command"
 should pass the configuration differently (the former should be
 a boolean true, the latter should be an empty string).

Hmm, there is something funny about the authorship on the sole commit in
that topic. It's too late to fix now (and I do not care too much), but
you may want to puzzle out what happened (stray --reset-author, weird
use of "git am"?).

I think that I am'ed on top of 2.1.0-rc1 first, but because it was a
maintenance material, I backported it to fork from 1.8.5 maintenance
track.  Perhaps rebase or cherry-pick did not work well while doing
this and I ended up doing "show | apply -3", "merge --squash", or
something silly like that.
