perf config: Validate config variable arguments before trying use them

You can show the values for several config items as below:

    # perf config report.queue-size call-graph.record-mode

but it is necessary to more precisely check arguments, before passing
them to show_spec_config().  This validation function would be also used
when parsing config key-value pairs arguments in the near future.

Committer notes:

Testing it:

  $ perf config bla.
  The config variable does not contain a variable name: bla.
  $ perf config .bla
  The config variable does not contain a section name: .bla
  $ perf config bla.bla
  $
