Add a missing test for checking what the --config output added in
ac68a93fd2 (help: add --config to list all available config,
2018-05-26) looks like. We should not be emitting anything except
config variables and the brief usage information at the end here.

I have to question if there is much value in this test, especially
the latter pattern.  A configuration variable with three-level name
can have any byte, including a dot, in its second level, so
rejecting a name with more than three dots in it can over-filter,
depending on what new keys we'll document in the future.
