[PATCH v1 3/8] environment: move `zlib_compression_level` into repo_config_values

The `zlib_compression_level` configuration is currently stored in the global variable `zlib_compression_level`, which makes it shared across repository instances within a single process.

Store it instead in `repo_config_values` so the value is associated with the repository from which it was read. This preserves existing behavior while avoiding cross-repository state leakage and continues the effort to reduce reliance on global configuration state.

Update all references to use repo_config_values().
