completion: list variable names reliably with 'git config --name-only'
Recenty I created a multi-line branch description with '.' and '='
characters on one of the lines, and noticed that fragments of that line
show up when completing set variable names for 'git config', e.g.:
$ git config --get branch.b.description
Branch description to fool the completion script with a
second line containing dot . and equals = characters.
$ git config --unset <TAB>
...
second line containing dot . and equals
...
The completion script runs 'git config --list' and processes its output
to strip the values and keep only the variable names. It does so by
looking for lines containing '.' and '=' and outputting everything
before the '=', which was fooled by my multi-line branch description.
A similar issue exists with aliases and pretty format aliases with
multi-line values, but in that case 'git config --get-regexp' is run and
lines in its output are simply stripped after the first space, so
subsequent lines don't even have to contain '.' and '=' to fool the
completion script.
Use the new '--name-only' option added in the previous commit to list
config variable names reliably in both cases, without error-prone post
processing.
