Git has 3 places for configs:

    - system
    - global (per user), and
    - local  (per repository)

System config location is hardcoded at git compile time (to usually
$prefix/etc/gitconfig). Local configuration is usually picked because we
pass --git-dir to subcommand. But global configuration is currently not
picked at all, because HOME env variable is not passed to git.

Pass $HOME through and let git see it's "global" config.

Currently GitLab omnibus stores gitlab user name/email  + "autocrlf =
true" in global config, so missing it should not be a blocker for
receive/send-pack operations. But having it is more correct and can be
handy in the future if/when more git operations are done from-under
gitlab-workhorse.

Having $HOME properly set is also needed when one cannot change system
git config and have to put site-wide configuration into global git
config under $HOME.

That was the case I've hit and the reason for this patch.
