We read config files character-by-character from a stdio
handle using fgetc(). This incurs significant locking
overhead, even though we know that only one thread can
possibly access the handle. We can speed this up by taking
the lock ourselves, and then using getc_unlocked to read
each character.

On a silly pathological case:

  perl -le '
    print "[core]";
    print "key$_ = value$_" for (1..1000000)
  ' >input
  git config -f input core.key1

this dropped the time to run git-config from:

  real    0m0.263s
  user    0m0.260s
  sys     0m0.000s

to:

  real    0m0.159s
  user    0m0.152s
  sys     0m0.004s

for a savings of 39%.  Most config files are not this big,
but the savings should be proportional to the size of the
file (i.e., we always save 39%, just of a much smaller
number).
