git: extend --no-lazy-fetch to work across subprocesses
Modeling after how the `--no-replace-objects` option is made usable
across subprocess spawning (e.g., cURL based remote helpers are
spawned as a separate process while running "git fetch"), allow the
`--no-lazy-fetch` option to be passed across process boundaries.
Do not model how the value of GIT_NO_REPLACE_OBJECTS environment
variable is ignored, though. Just use the usual git_env_bool() to
allow "export GIT_NO_LAZY_FETCH=0" and "unset GIT_NO_LAZY_FETCH"
to be equivalents.
Also do not model how the request is not propagated to subprocesses
we spawn (e.g. "git clone --local" that spawns a new process to work
in the origin repository, while the original one working in the
newly created one) by the "--no-replace-objects" option, as this "do
not lazily fetch from the promisor" is more about a per-request
debugging aid, not "this repository's promisor should not be relied
upon" property specific to a repository.
