Add a new fuzz target that exercises the parsing of git configs.
The existing git_config_from_mem function is a perfect entry point
for fuzzing as it exercises the same code paths as the rest of the
config parsing functions and offers an easily fuzzable interface.
Config parsing is a useful thing to fuzz because it operates on user
controlled data and is a central component of many git operations.

To prevent bitrot, we would like to regularly exercise the fuzz tests in
order to make sure they still link & run properly. We already compile
the fuzz test objects as part of the default `make` target, but we do
not link the executables due to the fuzz tests needing specific
compilers and compiler features. This has lead to frequent build
breakages for the fuzz tests.
To remedy this, we can add a CI step to actually link the fuzz
executables, and run them (with finite input rather than the default
infinite random input mode) to verify that they execute properly.
Since the main use of the fuzz tests is via OSS-Fuzz [1], and OSS-Fuzz
only runs tests on Linux [2], we only set up a CI test for the fuzzers
on Linux.
