[PATCH v5 8/8] environment: move "warn_on_object_refname_ambiguity" into `struct repo_config_values`

The `core.warnAmbiguousRefs` configuration was previously stored in a global `int` variable, making it shared across repository instances and risking cross‑repository state leakage.

Store it instead in `repo_config_values`, where eagerly‑parsed repository configuration lives. This option is parsed eagerly because ambiguity warnings influence how users interpret object references in many commands; a lazy parse could cause these warnings to behave inconsistently or to appear for the wrong repository, confusing users and hindering 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()`.
