[PATCH 2/3] replace-objects: create wrapper around setting

Message-ID
<5fc2f923d9e6aa13781d7d6567c9bd38a9dd1f0e.1685126618.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1537.git.1685126617.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>

The 'read_replace_objects' constant is initialized by git_default_config (if core.useReplaceRefs is disabled) and within setup_git_env (if GIT_NO_REPLACE_OBJECTS) is set. To ensure that this variable cannot be set accidentally in other places, wrap it in a replace_refs_enabled() method.

This allows us to remove the global from being recognized outside of replace-objects.c.

Further, a future change will help prevent the variable from being read before it is initialized. Centralizing its access is an important first step.
