environment: move ignore_case into repo_config_values
The 'core.ignorecase' configuration which is stored as the global variable 'ignore_case' acts as a core filesystem capability flag. Move this global variable into 'struct repo_config_values' to tie it to the specific repository instance it was read from. This reduces global state and aligns with the ongoing libification effort. To ensure code readability, the getter function 'repo_ignore_case()' is introduced.
