help tests: add test for --config output

Add a missing test for checking what the --config output added in
ac68a93fd2 (help: add --config to list all available config,
2018-05-26) looks like. We should not be emitting anything except
config variables and the brief usage information at the end here.

The second test regexp here might not match three-level variables in
general, as their second level could contain ".", but in this case
we're always emitting what we extract from the documentation, so it's
all strings like:

    foo.<name>.bar

If we did introduce something like variable example content here we'd
like this to break, since we'd then be likely to break the
git-completion.bash.
