Fix gitdir detection when in subdir of gitdir

If the current working directory is a subdirectory of the gitdir (e.g.
<repo>/.git/refs/), then setup_git_directory_gently() will climb its
parent directories until it finds itself in a gitdir.  However, no
matter how many parent directories it climbs, it sets
'GIT_DIR_ENVIRONMENT' to ".", which is obviously wrong.

This behaviour affected at least 'git rev-parse --git-dir' and hence
caused some errors in bash completion (e.g. customized command prompt
when on a detached head and completion of refs).

To fix this, we set the absolute path of the found gitdir instead.
