[RFC GSoC PATCH v3 0/2] Make read_attr() repository-aware by introducing a lazy bare state

This patch series is v3 of an earlier RFC that aimed to remove the dependency on the global `the_repository` from read_attr().

Based on feedback from Lucas Seiki Oshiro and Junio C Hamano, this iteration introduces a repository-scoped, lazily initialized "bare" state in struct repo_settings, exposed via repo_settings_get_is_bare(). The read_attr() function is then updated to use this helper instead of is_bare_repository().

The series is split as follows:
  1/2 repo-settings: add repo_settings_get_is_bare
  2/2 attr: use local repository state in read_attr

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

  repo-settings: add repo_settings_get_is_bare
  attr: use local repository state in read_attr
