Previously, config_with_options() wouldn't handle arbitrary repositories besides the_repository. Because of that, when retrieving .gitmodules from the cache, config_from_gitmodules() first needed to add the object directories of the given repo to the in-memory alternates list. But we have repo_config_with_options() now, which takes a repository as argument. So let's use it and remove the call to add_to_alternates_memory(). This should bring better performance to commands using the function (there'll be fewer odb entries to process) besides saving memory (repos may be free'd right after use whereas the_repository's alternates list doesn't). While we are here, let's also adjust the comment on top of config_from_gitmodules() to be explicit that it also handles the case where .gitmodules is not present at the working tree.
