`git_config_parse_key()` is used to sanitize the input key.
Some callers of the function like `git_config_set_multivar_in_file()`
get the per-sanitized key directly from the user so it becomes
necessary to raise an error specifying what went wrong when the entered
key is defective.

Other callers like `configset_find_element()` get their keys from
the git itself so a return value signifying error would be enough.
The error output shown to the user is useless and confusing in this
case so add a show_err flag to suppress errors in such cases.

Hi,

I just saw your mail late in the night (I didn't had net for a week).
This patch just squelches the error message, I will take a better
look tomorrow morning.
