config_cache: check return value of `git_config__lookup_entry` Callers of `git_config__cvar` already handle the case where the function returns an error due to a failed configuration variable lookup, but we are actually swallowing errors when calling `git_config__lookup_entry` inside of the function. Fix this by returning early when `git_config__lookup_entry` returns an error. As we call `git_config__lookup_entry` with `no_errors == false` which leads us to call `get_entry` with `GET_NO_MISSING` we will not return early when the lookup fails due to a missing entry. Like this we are still able to set the default value of the cvar and exit successfully.
