t*: skip packed-refs v2 over http tests

The GIT_TEST_PACKED_REFS_VERSION=2 environment variable helps us test
the packed-refs file format in its v2 version. This variable makes the
Git process act as if the extensions.refFormat config key has
"packed-v2" in its list. This means that if the environment variable is
removed, the repository is in a bad state. This is sufficient for most
test cases.

However, tests that fetch over HTTP appear to lose this environment
variable when executed through the HTTP server. Since the repositories
are created via Git commands in the tests, the packed-refs files end up
in the v2 format, but the server processes do not understand this and
start serving empty payloads since they do not recognize any refs.

The preferred long-term solution would be to ensure that the GIT_TEST_*
environment variable persists into the HTTP server. However, these tests
are not exercising any particularly tricky parts of the packed-refs file
format. It may not be worth the effort to pass the environment variable
and instead we can unset the environment variable (with a comment
explaining why) in these tests.
