This doesn't save any lines, but does keep us from doing
error-prone pointer arithmetic with constants.

The resulting code ends up about the same length, but it is
a little more self-explanatory. It now explicitly documents
and checks the pre-condition that the incoming var starts
with "man.", and drops the magic offset "4".

We keep a strbuf for the name of the submodule, even though
we only ever add one string to it. Let's just use xmemdupz
instead, which is slightly more efficient and makes it
easier to follow what is going on.
Unfortunately, we still end up having to deal with some
memory ownership issues in some code branches, as we have to
allocate the string in order to do a string list lookup, and
then only sometimes want to hand ownership of that string
over to the string_list. Still, making that explicit in the
code (as opposed to sometimes detaching the strbuf, and then
always releasing it) makes it a little more obvious what is
going on.

This makes the code a lot simpler to read by dropping a
whole bunch of constant offsets.
As a bonus, it means we also feed the whole config variable
name to our error functions:
[before]
$ git -c submodule.foo.fetchrecursesubmodules=bogus checkout
fatal: bad foo.fetchrecursesubmodules argument: bogus
[after]
$ git -c submodule.foo.fetchrecursesubmodules=bogus checkout
fatal: bad submodule.foo.fetchrecursesubmodules argument: bogus

When we parse userdiff config, we generally assume that
diff.name.key
will affect the "key" value of the "name" driver. However,
without confirming that the key is a valid userdiff key, we
may accidentally conflict with the ancient "diff.color.*"
namespace. The current code is careful not to even create a
driver struct if we do not see a key that is known by the
diff-driver code.
However, this carefulness is unnecessary; the default driver
with no keys set behaves exactly the same as having no
driver at all. We can simply set up the driver struct as
soon as we see we have a config key that looks like a
driver. This makes the code a bit more readable.

These callers can drop some inline pointer arithmetic and
magic offset constants, making them more readable and less
error-prone (those constants had to match the lengths of
strings, but there is no automatic verification of that
fact).
The "ep" pointer (presumably for "end pointer"), which
points to the final key segment of the config variable, is
given the more standard name "key" to describe its function
rather than its derivation.

This is fewer lines of code, but more importantly, fixes a
bogus pointer offset. We are looking for "tar." in the
section, but later assume that the dot we found is at offset
9, not 3. This is a holdover from an earlier iteration of
767cf45 which called the section "tarfilter".
As a result, we could erroneously reject some filters with
dots in their name, as well as read uninitialized memory.

The config callback functions get keys of the general form:
section.subsection.key
(where the subsection may be contain arbitrary data, or may
be missing). For matching keys without subsections, it is
simple enough to call "strcmp". Matching keys with
subsections is a little more complicated, and each callback
does it in an ad-hoc way, usually involving error-prone
pointer arithmetic.
Let's provide a helper that keeps the pointer arithmetic all
in one place.
