[PATCH v2 4/9] Export the discover_git_directory() function

[Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx>]

The function we introduced earlier needs to return both the path to the
.git/ directory as well as the "cd-up" path to allow
setup_git_directory() to retain its previous behavior as if it changed
the current working directory on its quest for the .git/ directory.

Let's rename it and export a function with an easier signature that
*just* discovers the .git/ directory.

We will use it in a subsequent patch to support early config reading
better.
