environment: guard state depending on a repository

In "environment.h" we have quite a lot of functions and variables that
either explicitly or implicitly depend on `the_repository`.

The implicit set of stateful declarations includes for example variables
which get populated when parsing a repository's Git configuration. This
set of variables is broken by design, as their state often depends on
the last repository config that has been parsed. So they may or may not
represent the state of `the_repository`.

Fixing that is quite a big undertaking, and later patches in this series
will demonstrate a solution for a first small set of those variables. So
for now, let's guard these with `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` so that
callers are aware of the implicit dependency.
