Move the global 'has_symlinks' configuration into the repository-specific 'repo_config_values' struct.
To ensure code readability, the getter function 'repo_has_symlinks()' has been introduced. Callers access this configuration by passing in 'repo' when possible, and explicitly fall back to 'the_repository' the rest of the time.
Note: To support early platform-specific (MinGW) overrides before repository initialization, a global variable 'default_has_symlinks' fallback is introduced as a fallback in environment.h. The *writer* in compat/mingw.c can only access this variable.
