[PATCH 11/21] config: drop `git_config_get_bool()` wrapper

From

In-Reply-To
<20250717-pks-config-wo-the-repository-v1-0-d888e4a17de1@pks.im>

In 036876a1067 (config: hide functions using `the_repository` by default, 2024-08-13) we have moved around a bunch of functions in the config subsystem that depend on `the_repository`. Those function have been converted into mere wrappers around their equivalent function that takes in a repository as parameter, and the intent was that we'll eventually remove those wrappers to make the dependency on the global repository variable explicit at the callsite.

Follow through with that intent and remove `git_config_get_bool()`. All callsites are adjusted so that they use `repo_config_get_bool(the_repository, ...)` instead. While some callsites might already have a repository available, this mechanical conversion is the exact same as the current situation and thus cannot cause any regression. Those sites should eventually be cleaned up in a later patch series.
