[PATCH v7 2/4] read-cache: pass 'repo' to 'ce_mode_from_stat()'

<20260717063559.1633567-1-cat@malon.dev>

The ce_mode_from_stat() function is a performance-critical static inline helper in 'read-cache.h'. As we migrate configuration variables into the repository struct, this helper needs access to the repository context.

Update the signature of ce_mode_from_stat() to take a 'struct repository *' parameter, and update all callers to pass the appropriate repository instance.

To prepare for the overhead of replacing cheap global variable accesses with getter functions, the boolean expressions are reordered to evaluate 'S_ISREG(mode)' first.

While at it, add a comment for ce_mode_from_stat().
