config: correct file reading order in read_early_config()
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.
