t1300: test "set all" mode with value-pattern
Without additional modifiers, 'git config <key> <value>' attempts to set a single value in the .git/config file. When the value-pattern parameter is supplied, this command behaves in a non-trivial manner. Consider 'git config <key> <value> <value-pattern>'. The expected behavior is as follows: 1. If there are multiple existing values that match 'value-pattern', then the command fails. Users should use --replace-all instead. 2. If there is no existing values match 'value-pattern', then the 'key=value' pair is appended, making this 'key' a multi-valued config setting. 3. If there is one existing value that matches 'value-pattern', then the new config has one entry where 'key=value'. Add a test that demonstrates these options. Break from the existing pattern in t1300-config.sh to use 'git config --file=<file>' instead of modifying .git/config directly to prevent possibly incompatible repo states. Also use 'git config --file=<file> --list' for config state comparison instead of the config file format. This makes the tests more readable.
