Instead of discovering the .git/ directory, read the config and then
trying to painstakingly reset all the global state if we did not find a
matching alias, let's use the early config machinery instead.
It may look like unnecessary work to discover the .git/ directory in the
early config machinery and then call setup_git_directory_gently() in the
case of a shell alias, repeating the very same discovery *again*.
However, we have to do this as the early config machinery takes pains
*not* to touch any global state, while shell aliases expect a possibly
changed working directory and at least the GIT_PREFIX and GIT_DIR
variables to be set.
Also, one might be tempted to streamline the code in alias_lookup() to
*not* use a strbuf for the key. However, if the config reports an error,
it is far superior to tell the user that the `alias.xyz` key had a
problem than to claim that it was the `xyz` key.
This change also fixes a known issue where Git tried to read the pager
config from an incorrect path in a subdirectory of a Git worktree if an
alias expanded to a shell command.
