Only use GIT_CONFIG in "git config", not other programs

For everything other than using "git config" to read or write a
git-style config file that isn't the current repo's config file,
GIT_CONFIG was actively detrimental. Rather than argue over which
programs are important enough to have work anyway, just fix all of
them at the root.

Also removes GIT_LOCAL_CONFIG, which would only be useful for programs
that do want to use global git-specific config, but not the repo's own
git-specific config, and want to use some other, presumably
git-specific config. Despite being documented, I can't find any sign that
it was ever used.

Source changes needed for porting to MinGW environment are now all in the
main git.git codebase.
GIT_CONFIG, which was only documented as affecting "git config", but
actually affected all git commands, now only affects "git config".
GIT_LOCAL_CONFIG, also only documented as affecting "git config" and
not different from GIT_CONFIG in a useful way, is removed.
Updates since v1.5.6

to the global or system-wide file respectively. The GIT_CONFIG environment
variable has a similar effect, but you can specify any filename you want.
The GIT_CONFIG_LOCAL environment variable on the other hand only changes
the name used instead of the repository configuration file. The global and
the system-wide configuration files will still be read. (For writing options
this will obviously result in the same behavior as using GIT_CONFIG.)

Take the configuration from the given file instead if .git/config.
