[PATCH] builtin/gc.c: fix use-after-free in maintenance_unregister()

While trying to fix a move based on an uninitialized value (along with a
declaration after the first statement), be0fd57228
(maintenance --unregister: fix uninit'd data use &
-Wdeclaration-after-statement, 2022-11-15) unintentionally introduced a
use-after-free.

The problem arises when `maintenance_unregister()` sees a non-NULL
`config_file` string and thus tries to call
git_configset_get_value_multi() to lookup the corresponding values.

We store the result off, and then call git_configset_clear(), which
frees the pointer that we just stored. We then try to read that
now-freed pointer a few lines below, and there we have our
use-after-free:

    $ ./t7900-maintenance.sh -vxi --run=23 --valgrind

Resolve this via a partial-revert of be0fd57228. The config_set struct
now gets a zero initialization, which makes free()-ing it a noop even
without calling git_configset_init(). When we do initialize it to a
non-zero value, it is only free()'d after our last read of `list`.

I am disappointed in myself for finding this only after I pushed out a
hotfix to 'next' and rebuild the downstream branches.

This should be a minimal fix on top of Ævar's patch to get 'next'
building again.
