Since the previous commit, our invariant that the_repository is never
NULL is restored, and we can stop being defensive in include_by_branch().
We can confirm the fix by showing that an onbranch config include will
not cause a segfault when run outside a git repository. I've put this in
t1309-early-config since it's related to the case added by 85fe0e800c
(config: work around bug with includeif:onbranch and early config,
2019-07-31), though technically the issue was with
read_very_early_config() and not read_early_config().

Commit 85fe0e800c (config: work around bug with includeif:onbranch and
early config, 2019-07-31) tests that our early config-reader does not
access the file mentioned by includeIf.onbranch:refs/heads/master.path.
But it would never do so even if the feature were implemented, since the
onbranch matching code uses the short refname "master".
The test still serves its purpose, since the bug fixed by 85fe0e800c is
actually that we hit a BUG() before even deciding whether to match the
ref. But let's use the correct name to avoid confusion (and which we'll
eventually want to trigger once we do the "real" fix described in that
commit).

Since 07b2c0eaca (config: learn the "onbranch:" includeIf condition,
2019-06-05), there is a potential catch-22 in the early config path: if
the `include.onbranch:` feature is used, Git assumes that the Git
directory has been initialized already. However, in the early config
code path that is not true.
One way to trigger this is to call the following commands in any
repository:
git config includeif.onbranch:refs/heads/master.path broken
git help -a
The symptom triggered by the `git help -a` invocation reads like this:
BUG: refs.c:1851: attempting to get main_ref_store outside of repository
Let's work around this, simply by ignoring the `includeif.onbranch:`
setting when parsing the config when the ref store has not been
initialized (yet).
Technically, there is a way to solve this properly: teach the refs
machinery to initialize the ref_store from a given gitdir/commondir pair
(which we _do_ have in the early config code path), and then use that in
`include_by_branch()`. This, however, is a pretty involved project, and
we're already in the feature freeze for Git v2.23.0.
Note: when calling above-mentioned two commands _outside_ of any Git
worktree (passing the `--global` flag to `git config`, as there is
obviously no repository config available), at the point when
`include_by_branch()` is called, `the_repository` is `NULL`, therefore
we have to be extra careful not to dereference it in that case.

The GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease compile-time testing option added in my
bb946bba76 ("i18n: add GETTEXT_POISON to simulate unfriendly
translator", 2011-02-22) has been slowly bitrotting as strings have
been marked for translation, and new tests have been added without
running it.
I brought this up on the list ("[BUG] test suite broken with
GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease", [1]) asking whether this mode was useful at
all anymore. At least one person occasionally uses it, and Lars
Schneider offered to change one of the the Travis builds to run in
this mode, so fix up the failing ones.
My test setup runs most of the tests, with the notable exception of
skipping all the p4 tests, so it's possible that there's still some
lurking regressions I haven't fixed.

Config file reading order is important because each file can override
values in the previous files and this is expected behavior. Normally
we read in this order, all in do_git_config_sequence():
1. $HOME/.gitconfig
2. $GIT_DIR/config
3. config from command line
However in read_early_config() the order may be swapped a bit if
setup_git_directory() has not been called:
1. $HOME/.gitconfig
2. $GIT_DIR/config is NOT read because .git dir is not found _yet_
3. config from command line
4. $GIT_DIR/config is now READ (after discover_git_directory() call)
The reading at step 4 could override config at step 3, which is not
the expectation.
Now that we could pass the .git dir around, we could feed
discover_git_directory() back to step 2, so that it works again, and
remove step 4.

Jeff King came up with a couple examples that demonstrate how the new
read_early_config() that looks harder for the current .git/ directory
could die() in an undesirable way.
Let's add those cases to the test script, to document what we would like
to happen when early config encounters problems.
