[PATCH v6 15/40] Add GIT_NO_EXTERNAL_ODB env variable

[Christian Couder <christian.couder@gmail.com>]

This new environment variable will be used to perform git
commands without involving any external odb mechanism.

This makes it possible for example to create new blobs that
will not be sent to an external odb even if the external odb
supports "put_*" instructions.
