jj throws a config error after setting "ui.paginate" incorrectly, refuses to correct this setting #4126

Description

I'm starting to learn jj and tried to setup the use of the pager. Because I new that never was an option for ui.paginate I guessed that the opposite value would be always, which it wasn't and which made all other jj commands afterwards fail.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

  1. Run jj config set --user ui.paginate always
  2. Get Config error: Invalid ui.paginate
  3. Run jj config set --user ui.paginate auto

Expected Behavior

The configuration is corrected and set to auto, making it possible to use jj again.

Actual Behavior

All jj commands I tried (jj log, jj config set, jj --version) fail with the Config error ̇
