Re: [PATCH 2/3] config: respect `pager.config` in list/get-mode only

Similar to de121ffe5 (tag: respect `pager.tag` in list-mode only,
2017-08-02), use the DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG-mechanism to only respect
`pager.config` when we are listing or "get"ing config.

Some getters give at most one line of output, but it is much easier to
document and understand that we page all of --get[-*] and --list, than
to divide the (current and future) getters into "pages" and "doesn't".

I realize modern pagers like 'less' can automatically exit if the
output is less than a screen. But are we sure it's true for all
pagers? It would be annoying to have a pager waiting for me to exit
when I only want to check one config item out (which prints one line).
Trading one-time convenience at reading the manual with constantly
pressing 'q' does not seem justified.
