config: add --fixed-value option, un-implemented
The 'git config' builtin takes a 'value-pattern' parameter for several actions. This can cause confusion when expecting exact value matches instead of regex matches, especially when the input string contains metacharacters. While callers can escape the patterns themselves, it would be more friendly to allow an argument to disable the pattern matching in favor of an exact string match. Add a new '--fixed-value' option that does not currently change the behavior. The implementation will be filled in by later changes for each appropriate action. For now, check and test that --fixed-value will abort the command when included with an incompatible action or without a 'value-pattern' argument. The name '--fixed-value' was chosen over something simpler like '--fixed' because some commands allow regular expressions on the key in addition to the value.
