We already have a way of doing this, which is to unset both HOME and XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variables and to set `GIT_CONFIG_NOGLOBAL=true`. This is quite kludgy, and unsetting the first two variables likely has an impact on other executables spawned by such a script. The obvious way to fix this would be to introduce `GIT_CONFIG_NOGLOBAL` as an equivalent to `GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM`. But in the past, it has turned out that this design is inflexible: we cannot test system-level parsing of the git configuration in our test harness because there is no way to change its location, so all tests run with `GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM` set. Instead of doing the same mistake with `GIT_CONFIG_NOGLOBAL`, introduce two new variables `GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL` and `GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM`: - If unset, git continues to use the usual locations. - If set to a specific path, we skip reading the normal configuration files and instead take the path. By setting the path to `/dev/null`, no configuration will be loaded for the respective level. This implements the usecase where we want to execute code in a sanitized environment without any potential misconfigurations via `/dev/null`, but is more flexible and allows for more usecases than simply adding `GIT_CONFIG_NOGLOBAL`.
