Provide a build time default-pager setting
Provide a DEFAULT_PAGER knob so packagers can set the fallback
pager to something appropriate during the build.
Examples:
On (old) solaris systems, /usr/bin/less (typically the first less
found) doesn't understand the default arguments (FXRS), which
forces users to alter their environment (PATH, GIT_PAGER, LESS,
etc) or have a local or global gitconfig before paging works as
expected.
On Debian systems, by policy packages must fall back to the
'pager' command, so that changing the target of the
/usr/bin/pager symlink changes the default pager for all packages
at once.
