[PATCH 1/9] t7006: GIT_DIR/config should be honored in subdirs of toplevel

When git is passed the --paginate option, starting up a pager requires deciding what pager to start, which requires access to 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 set explicitly.

Add a test to demonstrate this counterintuitive behavior.

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