This allows the caller to add its own error message to that returned
by split_cmdline.  Thus error output following a failed split_cmdline
can be of the form

fatal: Bad alias.test string: cmdline ends with \

rather than

error: cmdline ends with \
fatal: Bad alias.test string

The alias argv comes from the split_cmdline function, which
splits the config text for the alias into an array of
strings. It returns the number of elements in the array, but
does not actually put a NULL at the end of the array.
Later, the trace function tries to print this argv and
assumes that it has the trailing NULL.

The split_cmdline function is probably at fault, since argv
lists almost always end with a NULL signal. This patch adds
one, in addition to the returned count; this doesn't hurt
the other callers at all, since they were presumably using
the count already (and will never look at the NULL).

While we're there and using ALLOC_GROW, let's clean up the
other manual grow.

split_cmdline() is currently used for aliases only, but later it can be
useful for other builtins as well. Move it to alias.c for now,
indicating that originally it's for aliases, but we'll have it in libgit
this way.

git_config() only had a function parameter, but no callback data
parameter.  This assumes that all callback functions only modify
global variables.

With this patch, every callback gets a void * parameter, and it is hoped
that this will help the libification effort.

This converts git_config_alias to the public alias_lookup
function. Because of the nature of our config parser, we
still have to rely on setting static data. However, that
interface is wrapped so that you can just say

  value = alias_lookup(key);
