The config::global test suite creates various different directories and files which are being populated with pretend-global files. Unfortunately, the tests do not clean up after themselves, which may cause subsequent tests to fail due to cruft left behind. Fix this by always removing created directories and their contents.

We've got reports that users are unable to open repos when their global
configuration ("~/.gitconfig") is a symlink. Add a test to verify that
we are in fact able to do so as expected.
While we do verify that we are able to open the global ".gitconfig" file in config::global::open_global, we never verify that we it is in fact readable. Do so by writing the global configuration file and verifying that reading from it produces the expected values.
According to reports, libgit2 is unable to read a global configuration file that is simply a symlink to the real configuration. Write a (succeeding) test that shows that libgit2 _is_ correctly able to do so.

My failed tries to reproduce #5033. I guess it's worthwhile to include them anyway, even though they didn't uncover any errors.
