Add support for GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM

This patch makes git pay attention to the GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM environment
variable. When that variable is set, git will stop searching for a
GIT_DIR when it attempts to cross a filesystem boundary.

When working in an environment with too many automount points to make
maintaining a GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES list enjoyable, GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM
gives the option of turning all such attempts off with one setting.
