config.c: avoid integer truncation in `copy_or_rename_section_in_file()`
    
    There are a couple of spots within `copy_or_rename_section_in_file()`
    that incorrectly use an `int` to track an offset within a string, which
    may truncate or wrap around to a negative value.
    
    Historically it was impossible to have a line longer than 1024 bytes
    anyway, since we used fgets() with a fixed-size buffer of exactly that
    length. But the recent change to use a strbuf permits us to read lines
    of arbitrary length, so it's possible for a malicious input to cause us
    to overflow past INT_MAX and do an out-of-bounds array read.
    
    Practically speaking, however, this should never happen, since it
    requires 2GB section names or values, which are unrealistic in
    non-malicious circumstances.
