[PATCH 1/4] test-bloom: stop setting up Git directory twice

We're setting up the Git directory twice in the `test-tool bloom` helper, once at the beginning of `cmd_bloom()` and once in the local subcommand implementation `get_bloom_filter_for_commit()`. This can lead to memory leaks as we'll overwrite variables of `the_repository` with newly allocated data structures. On top of that it's simply unnecessary.

Fix this by only setting up the Git directory once.
