Earlier, we punted and simply assumed that we are in the top-level
directory of the project, and that there is no .git file but a .git/
directory so that we can read directly from .git/config.
However, that is not necessarily true. We may be in a subdirectory. Or
.git may be a gitfile. Or the environment variable GIT_DIR may be set.
To remedy this situation, we just refactored the way
setup_git_directory() discovers the .git/ directory, to make it
reusable, and more importantly, to leave all global variables and the
current working directory alone.
Let's discover the .git/ directory correctly in read_early_config() by
using that new function.
This fixes 4 known breakages in t7006.

So far, we only look whether the startup_info claims to have seen a
git_dir.
However, do_git_config_sequence() (and consequently the
git_config_with_options() call used by read_early_config() asks the
have_git_dir() function whether we have a .git/ directory, which in turn
also looks at git_dir and at the environment variable GIT_DIR. And when
this is the case, the repository config is handled already, so we do not
have to do that again explicitly.
Let's just use the same function, have_git_dir(), to determine whether we
have to handle .git/config explicitly.

The pager configuration needs to be read early, possibly before

We modified the setup_git_directory_gently_1() function earlier to make
it possible to discover the GIT_DIR without changing global state.
However, it is still a bit cumbersome to use if you only need to figure
out the (possibly absolute) path of the .git/ directory. Let's just
provide a convenient wrapper function with an easier signature that
*just* discovers the .git/ directory.
We will use it in a subsequent patch to fix the early config.

For historical reasons, Git searches for the .git/ directory (or the
.git file) by changing the working directory successively to the parent
directory of the current directory, until either anything was found or
until a ceiling or a mount point is hit.
Further global state may be changed in case a .git/ directory was found.
We do have a use case, though, where we would like to find the .git/
directory without having any global state touched, though: when we read
the early config e.g. for the pager or for alias expansion.
Let's just move all of code that changes any global state out of the
function `setup_git_directory_gently_1()` into
`setup_git_directory_gently()`.
In subsequent patches, we will use the _1() function in a new
`discover_git_directory()` function that we will then use for the early
config code.
Note: the new loop is a *little* tricky, as we have to handle the root
directory specially: we cannot simply strip away the last component
including the slash, as the root directory only has that slash. To remedy
that, we introduce the `min_offset` variable that holds the minimal length
of an absolute path, and using that to special-case the root directory,
including an early exit before trying to find the parent of the root
directory.

Currently, the offset parameter (indicating what part of the cwd
parameter corresponds to the current directory after discovering the
.git/ directory) is set to 0 when we are running in the root directory.
However, in the next patches we will avoid changing the current working
directory while searching for the .git/ directory, meaning that the
offset corresponding to the root directory will have to be 1 to reflect
that this directory is characterized by the path "/" (and not "").
So let's make sure that setup_discovered_git_directory() only tries to
append the trailing slash to non-root directories.
Note: the setup_bare_git_directory() does not need a corresponding
change, as it does not want to return a prefix.

It is okay in practice to test for forward slashes in the output of
getcwd(), because we go out of our way to convert backslashes to forward
slashes in getcwd()'s output on Windows.
Still, the correct way to test for a dir separator is by using the
helper function we introduced for that very purpose. It also serves as a
good documentation what the code tries to do (not "how").

The idea of the test case "git -p - core.pager is not used from
subdirectory" was to verify that the setup_git_directory() function had
not been called just to obtain the core.pager setting.
However, we are about to fix the early config machinery so that it
*does* work, without messing up the global state.
Once that is done, the core.pager setting *will* be used, even when
running from a subdirectory, and that is a Good Thing.
The intention of that test case, however, was to verify that the
setup_git_directory() function has not run, because it changes global
state such as the current working directory.
To keep that spirit, but fix the incorrect assumption, this patch
replaces that test case by a new one that verifies that the pager is
run in the subdirectory, i.e. that the current working directory has
not been changed at the time the pager is configured and launched, even
if the `rev-parse` command requires a .git/ directory and *will* change
the working directory.

Not just . and .., but any path that begins with dot is not copied
when copying the template directory to a new repository. You can
customize the template directory, copying some dotfiles might make
sense, but it's actually a good thing not to, because you would not
want to have your git directory copied in every git directory that
is created should you decide to put your template directory under
version control, for example. Plus, it might be used as a feature
by people who would want to exclude some files.
