config API: have *_multi() return an "int" and take a "dest"
Have the "git_configset_get_value_multi()" function and its siblings return an "int" and populate a "**dest" parameter like every other git_configset_get_*()" in the API. As we'll take advantage of in subsequent commits, this fixes a blind spot in the API where it wasn't possible to tell whether a list was empty from whether a config key existed. For now we don't make use of those new return values, but faithfully convert existing API users. Most of this is straightforward, commentary on cases that stand out: - To ensure that we'll properly use the return values of this function in the future we're using the "RESULT_MUST_BE_USED" macro introduced in [1]. As git_die_config() now has to handle this return value let's have it BUG() if it can't find the config entry. As tested for in a preceding commit we can rely on getting the config list in git_die_config(). - The loops after getting the "list" value in "builtin/gc.c" could also make use of "unsorted_string_list_has_string()" instead of using that loop, but let's leave that for now. - In "versioncmp.c" we now use the return value of the functions, instead of checking if the lists are still non-NULL. 1. 1e8697b5c4e (submodule--helper: check repo{_submodule,}_init() return values, 2022-09-01), Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
