Thomas Gummerer 8a2cd3f512 stash: remove the stash.useBuiltin setting
Remove the stash.useBuiltin setting which was added as an escape hatch
to disable the builtin version of stash first released with Git 2.22.

Carrying the legacy version is a maintenance burden, and has in fact
become out of date failing a test since the 2.23 release, without
anyone noticing until now.  So users would be getting a hint to fall
back to a potentially buggy version of the tool.

We used to shell out to git config to get the useBuiltin configuration
to avoid changing any global state before spawning legacy-stash.
However that is no longer necessary, so just use the 'git_config'
function to get the setting instead.

Similar to what we've done in d03ebd411c ("rebase: remove the
rebase.useBuiltin setting", 2019-03-18), where we remove the
corresponding setting for rebase, we leave the documentation in place,
so people can refer back to it when searching for it online, and so we
can refer to it in the commit message.

stash.useBuiltin::
Unused configuration variable. Used in Git versions 2.22 to
2.26 as an escape hatch to enable the legacy shellscript
implementation of stash. Now the built-in rewrite of it in C
is always used. Setting this will emit a warning, to alert any
remaining users that setting this now does nothing.
stash.showPatch::
If this is set to true, the `git stash show` command without an
option will show the stash entry in patch form. Defaults to false.
See description of 'show' command in linkgit:git-stash[1].
stash.showStat::
If this is set to true, the `git stash show` command without an
option will show diffstat of the stash entry. Defaults to true.
See description of 'show' command in linkgit:git-stash[1].
