[PATCH v2 4/8] environment: move "pack_compression_level" into `struct repo_config_values`

The `pack_compression_level` configuration is currently stored in the global variable `pack_compression_level`, which makes it shared across repository instances within a single process.

Store it instead in `repo_config_values` so the value is associated with the repository from which it was read. This preserves existing behavior while avoiding cross-repository state leakage and is another step toward eliminating repository-dependent global state.

Update all references to use repo_config_values().
