[20/20] config: hide functions using `the_repository` by default

The config subsytem provides a bunch of legacy functions that read or
set configuration for `the_repository`. The use of those functions is
discouraged, and it is easy to miss the implicit dependency on
`the_repository` that calls to those functions may cause.

Move all config-related functions that use `the_repository` into a block
that gets only conditionally compiled depending on whether or not the
macro has been defined. This also removes all dependencies on that
variable in "config.c", allowing us to remove the definition of said
preprocessor macro.

Here we are making the same change done earlier to "path.h". Use of
config functions that rely on `the_repository` implicitly now require
the caller to define `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` explicitly. Thus
improving visibility of use.

Once again, very neat to see this guarded behind
`USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` now. :)
