config: keep bailing on unreadable global files

The behaviour for `git config list` is:
  A. Without `--global`, it should not bail on unreadable/non-existent
     global config files.

  B. With `--global`, it should bail when both `$HOME/.gitconfig` and
     `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config` are unreadable. It should not bail
     when one or more of them is readable.

The previous patch introduced a regression in scenario B: running
`git config list --global` would not fail when both global config files
are unreadable. For example,
`GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=does-not-exist git config list --global` would exit
with status code 0.

Assuming that `config_source->scope == CONFIG_SCOPE_GLOBAL` iff the
`--global` argument is specified, use this to determine whether to bail.
When reading only the global scope and both config files are unreadable,
then adjust the return code to be non-zero.

Note: The logic to determine the exit code does not actually sum the
return codes of the underlying operations. Instead, it uses a single
decrement operation. If this is undesirable, we can change it to sum
the return codes of the underlying operations instead.
