The code for the v2 ls-refs command has an ensure_config_read() function
that tries to read the lsrefs.unborn config only once and caches it in
some static global variables.

There's no real need for this caching. In any given process we'd only
need the value twice (once to decide whether to advertise, and once if
somebody runs the command). And since the config code already has its
own cache, each access is only incurring a hash lookup and string
comparison anyway.

Since the values we set are going to be specific to the_repository, the
globals we set are a mild anti-pattern. In practice it's not a bug (yet)
since the server-side v2 code only handles a single repository anyway.
But it doesn't hurt to take a small step in the right direction and
model a good approach.

Note that we currently set two booleans: advertise_unborn and
allow_unborn. But we can get away with a single value, since "advertise"
naturally implies "allow". That lets us just convert this to a function
with a return value.

Note that we still always read from the_repository; we'll deal with that
in a follow-on patch.

Mostly done as prep for the next patch, but IMHO the simplification here
is nice in its own right.
