trailer tests: make test cases self-contained
By using "test_config" instead of "git config", we avoid leaking configuration state across test cases. This in turn helps to make the tests more self-contained, by explicitly capturing the configuration setup. It then makes it easier to add tests anywhere in this 1500+ line file, without worrying about what implicit state was set in some prior test case defined earlier up in the script. This commit was created mechanically as follows: we changed the first occurrence of a particular "git config trailer.*" option, then ran the tests repeatedly to see which ones broke, adding in the extra "test_config" equivalents to make them pass again. In addition, in some test cases we removed "git config --unset ..." lines because they were no longer necessary (as the --unset was being used to clean up leaked configuration state from earlier test cases). The process described above was done repeatedly until there were no more unbridled "git config" invocations. Some "git config" invocations still do exist in the script, but they were already cleaned up properly with test_when_finished "git config --remove-section ..." so they were left alone. Note that these cleanups result in generally longer test case setups because the previously hidden state is now being exposed. Although we could then clean up the test cases' "expected" values to be less verbose (the verbosity arising from the use of implicit state), we choose not to do so here, to make sure that this cleanup does not change any meanings behind the test cases.
