Subject: [PATCH v7 6/7] perf config: Reset the config set at only 'config' sub-command

When first calling perf_config(), the config set is
initialized collecting both user and system config files
(i.e. user config ~/.perfconfig and system config
$(sysconfdir)/perfconfig) so config set contains
not only user config but also system config key-value pairs.
(User config has higher priority than system config.)

But 'config' sub-command individually use the config set
so free the existing config set (i.e. a global variable config_set)
before reinstantiating it.

And 'config' sub-command have '--user' or '--system' options.
To reinitialize with the options, the config set should be reset
at the very beginning at cmd_config()
