Remove the_repository global variable for the annotate, apply, and archive bulitins.

Changes since V1:
 * in patch 1, only pass in repo to the bulitin if the repo exists
Changes since V2:
 * drop patch 3, which is a bit more involved to dis-entangle the_repository
 * use a single variable in run_builtin() to keep track of whether or not we
   are operating in a repository
John Cai (3):
  git: pass in repo to builtin based on setup_git_directory_gently
  annotate: remove usage of the_repository global
  archive: remove the_repository global variable

     -    git: pass in repo for RUN_SETUP_GENTLY
     +    git: pass in repo to builtin based on setup_git_directory_gently
      
     -    commands that have RUN_SETUP_GENTLY potentially need a repository.
     -    Modify the logic in run_builtin() to pass the repository to the builtin
     -    if a builtin has the RUN_SETUP_GENTLY property.
     +    The current code in run_builtin() passes in a repository to the builtin
     +    based on whether cmd_struct's option flag has RUN_SETUP.
     +
     +    This is incorrect, however, since some builtins that only have
     +    RUN_SETUP_GENTLY can potentially take a repository.
     +    setup_git_directory_gently() tells us whether or not a command is being
     +    run inside of a repository.
     +
     +    Use the output of setup_git_directory_gently() to help determine whether
     +    or not there is a repository to pass to the builtin. If not, then we
     +    just pass NULL.
     +
     +    As part of this patch, we need to modify add to check for a NULL repo
     +    before calling repo_git_config(), since add -h can be run outside of a
     +    repository.
