$ hg config extension.i_dont_exist

$ echo $?
0

Should really exit other than 0 when the config option does not exist. What it currently does is return a newline for extensions that exist (and the option doesn't have anything on the right hand side of the =).

Sounds good.

config: exit non zero on non-existent config option (issue4247)

When running 'hg config no_such_option', hg exited with a
zero exit code. This change now exits with a 1 if the
config option does not exist.

(please test the fix)
