There are several tests in t1300-config.sh that validate failing invocations of "git config". However, there are no tests that check what happens when "git config" is asked to retrieve a value for a missing key. Add tests that check this for various combinations of "<section>.<key>" and "<section>.<subsection>.<key>".
