Merge branch 'jk/config-parsing-cleanup'

Configuration parsing for tar.* configuration variables were
broken. Introduce a new config-keyname parser API to make the
callers much less error prone.

* jk/config-parsing-cleanup:
  reflog: use parse_config_key in config callback
  help: use parse_config_key for man config
  submodule: simplify memory handling in config parsing
  submodule: use parse_config_key when parsing config
  userdiff: drop parse_driver function
  convert some config callbacks to parse_config_key
  archive-tar: use parse_config_key when parsing config
  config: add helper function for parsing key names
