From: John Cai <johncai86@gmail.com>

44451a2 (attr: teach "--attr-source=<tree>" global option to "git",
2023-05-06) provided the ability to pass in a treeish as the attr
source. In the context of serving Git repositories as bare repos like we
do at GitLab however, it would be easier to point --attr-source to HEAD
for all commands by setting it once.

Add a new config attr.tree that allows this.

+attr.tree::
+	A reference to a tree in the repository from which to read attributes,
+	instead of the `.gitattributes` file in the working tree. In a bare
+	repository, this defaults to `HEAD:.gitattributes`. If the value does
+	not resolve to a valid tree object, an empty tree is used instead.
+	When the `GIT_ATTR_SOURCE` environment variable or `--attr-source`
+	command line option are used, this configuration variable has no effect.
