environment: move "branch.autoSetupMerge" into struct repo_config_values

The config value `brach.autoSetupMerge` is parsed in
`git_default_branch_config()` and stored in the global variable
`git_branch_track`. This global variable can cause unexpected behaviours
when multiple Git repos run in the the same process.

Move this value into `struct repo_config_values` to retain current
behaviours while achieving repository scoped access.
