init: make a copy of $GIT_DIR string

Browse source 
We pass the result of getenv("GIT_DIR") to init_db() and assume that the
string remains valid. But that's not guaranteed across calls to setenv()
or even getenv(), although it often works in practice. Let's make a copy
of the string so that we follow the rules.

Note that we need to mark it with UNLEAK(), since the value persists
until the end of program (but we have no opportunity to free it).

This patch also handles $GIT_WORK_TREE the same way. It actually doesn't
have as long a lifetime and is probably fine, but it's simpler to just
treat the two side-by-side variables the same.
