[PATCH 1/2] t7006: test core.pager configuration in subdir of toplevel

From

If git is passed the --paginate option, committing the pager choice will require setting up the pager, which requires access to repository for the core.pager configuration.

Unfortunately, the --paginate option is handled before git has a chance to search for a git directory. The effect is that with --paginate and only with --paginate, a repository-local core.pager setting does not take effect unless the git directory is simply .git in the cwd (or GIT_DIR or GIT_CONFIG was explicitly set).

Add a test to demonstrate this problem.

Noticed while reading over a patch by Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy that fixes it.
