setup: make read_early_config() reusable

The pager configuration needs to be read early, possibly before
discovering any .git/ directory.

Let's not hide this function in pager.c, but make it available to other
callers.

-	 * Note that this is a really dirty hack that does the wrong thing in

-	 * setup_git_directory() early on in git's setup, so we have no idea if

-	 * and how to read repository-local config.
-	 *
-	 * So if we _aren't_ in a repository (or we are but we would reject its

-	 * blindly. Similarly, if we _are_ in a repository, but not at the
-	 * root, we'll fail to find .git/config (because it's really
-	 * ../.git/config, etc). See t7006 for a complete set of failures.
-	 *
-	 * However, we have historically provided this hack because it does
-	 * work some of the time (namely when you are at the top-level of a
-	 * valid repository), and would rarely make things worse (i.e., you do
-	 * not generally have a .git/config file sitting around).
