fix: preserve multiline config values when writing

GitConfigParser decoded valid multiline values into embedded newlines, but
_write() serialized those newlines as indented physical lines. Rewriting an
otherwise unchanged config could therefore change its meaning to Git.

Serialize resident multiline values with Git-compatible escapes inside a
quoted continuation, preserving GitPython read compatibility while keeping
each option structurally intact. This addresses GHSA-284h-m62q-gf8w.

The regression starts with an inert multiline value, performs an unrelated
write, and verifies with both GitPython and git config that it remains one
value and does not create another option.

Git baseline: config.c parse_value() and write_pair() at cf5497b14c5a escape
embedded LF as \\n rather than emitting it as a physical config line.

Validation:
- pytest -q test/test_config.py
- pytest -q
- ruff check git/config.py test/test_config.py
- ruff format --check git/config.py test/test_config.py
