[PATCH 03/10] lazily load core.sharedrepository

The "shared_repository" config is loaded as part of check_repository_format_version, but it's not quite like the other values we check there. Something like core.repositoryformatversion only makes sense in per-repo config, but core.sharedrepository can be set in a per-user config (e.g., to make all "git init" invocations shared by default).

So it would make more sense as part of git_default_config. Commit 457f06d (Introduce core.sharedrepository, 2005-12-22) says:

  [...]the config variable is set in the function which
  checks the repository format. If this were done in
  git_default_config instead, a lot of programs would need
  to be modified to call git_config(git_default_config)
  first.

This is still the case today, but we have one extra trick up our sleeve. Now that we have the git_configset infrastructure, it's not so expensive for us to ask for a single value. So we can simply lazy-load it on demand.

This should be OK to do in general. There are some problems with loading config before setup_git_directory() is called, but we shouldn't be accessing the value before then (if we were, then it would already be broken, as the variable would not have been set by check_repository_format_version!). The trickiest caller is git-init, but it handles the values manually itself.

Of the whole series, this is the one I most fear causing problems. It
passes the test suite, but that isn't to say there isn't a weird corner
case lurking.
