attr: add attr.tree for setting the treeish to read attributes from
44451a2 (attr: teach "--attr-source=<tree>" global option to "git", 2023-05-06) provided the ability to pass in a treeish as the attr source. In the context of serving Git repositories as bare repos like we do at GitLab however, it would be easier to point --attr-source to HEAD for all commands by setting it once. Add a new config attr.tree that allows this. Signed-off-by: John Cai <johncai86@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

+attr.tree::
+ A reference to a tree in the repository from which to read attributes,
+ instead of the `.gitattributes` file in the working tree. In a bare
+ repository, this defaults to `HEAD:.gitattributes`. If the value does
+ not resolve to a valid tree object, an empty tree is used instead.
+ When the `GIT_ATTR_SOURCE` environment variable or `--attr-source`
+ command line option are used, this configuration variable has no effect.
