The `core.precomposeunicode` configuration is currently stored in the global variable `precomposed_unicode`, which makes it shared across repository instances within a single process.
Store it instead in `repo_config_values`, where eagerly‑parsed repository configuration lives. `core.precomposeunicode` is parsed eagerly because it controls Unicode path normalization on macOS, a fundamental filesystem‑level behavior that many operations depend on; a lazy parse could lead to inconsistent results and hamper libification. This preserves the existing behavior while tying the value to the repository from which it was read, avoiding cross‑ repository state leakage and continuing the effort to reduce reliance on global configuration state.
Update all references to use `repo_config_values()`.
