Fix config update --option/--ignore-option never matching options

[SreeramaYeshwanthGowd]

airflow config update filtered changes by comparing the composed section.option key against the bare option name the user passes, so --option and --ignore-option never matched and silently did nothing. The sibling airflow config lint already matches on the bare option name, so this makes update consistent with it.

This needs a bugfix newsfragment. Otherwise I think this is good.

Thanks @uranusjr! Added the bugfix newsfragment

Thanks — good catch, and the fix is right. update_config was building full_key = f"{section}.{option}" and comparing it against whatever the user passed to --option / --ignore-option, so a bare option name could never match and the filters silently did nothing.

I checked the intended interface against the sibling lint_config command, whose docstring gives --option check_slas, --ignore-option smtp_user and --section smtp --option smtp_user — bare option names throughout. So comparing against conf_option makes update consistent with lint, rather than inventing a new convention. The CLI help ("The option name(s) to update") says the same.

Parametrizing the test across both --option and --ignore-option with a present/absent key pair is a nice way to prove the filter works in both directions, and the newsfragment is warranted since this is a user-visible CLI fix.

Nothing further from me.
