perf config: Move perf_config__set_variable() to util/config.c

Move perf_config__set_variable() out of the 'perf config' builtin so
that opt-in features can persist their choice from outside it, e.g.
util/debuginfo.c writing core.debuginfod=false when the user disables
debuginfod for the rest of the session.  The set_config() body becomes
perf_config_set__write(), with the system_config choice as an argument,
as the builtin's use_system_config/use_user_config statics are not
available outside it.

perf_config_set__write() checked fopen() but none of the fprintf()s or
fclose(), so a write failure after truncating the file was reported as
success.  Harmless for the interactive 'perf config' this came from,
but this makes it an entry point a background feature can call with no
other feedback, so propagate those errors too.
