[PATCH 19/21] dir: fix leak when parsing "status.showUntrackedFiles"
From: Patrick Steinhardt <hidden>

We use `repo_config_get_string()` to read "status.showUntrackedFiles" from the config subsystem. This function allocates the result, but we never free the result after parsing it. The value never leaves the scope of the calling function, so refactor it to instead use `repo_config_get_string_tmp()`, which does not hand over ownership to the caller.
