[PATCH 1/2] replace: use a GIT_NO_REPLACE_OBJECTS env variable

From

This environment variable is set when the --no-replace-objects flag is passed to git, and it is read when other environment variables are read.

It is useful for example for scripts, as the git commands used in them can now be aware that they must not read replace refs.

	These 2 patches should fix that for gitk and many other scripted
	commands. But if it doesn't for some, please tell me.
	Thanks,
