Move `git_config()` call after `usage_with_options()` to avoid NULL `repo` check. When "-h" is passed to builtins using the RUN_SETUP macro, `repo` passed by `run_builtin()` will be NULL. If we use the `repo` instead of the global `the_repository` variable. We will have to switch from `git_config()` to `repo_config()` which takes in `repo`. We must check for NULL `repo` if `repo_config()` comes before `usage_with_options()`. Moving `git_config()` after `usage_with_options()` eliminates this need, as `usage_with_options()` exit before calling `repo_config()`. This will be useful in the following patch which remove `the_repository` global variable in favor of the `repo` passed by `run_builtin()`.
