environment: remove the global variable 'sparse_expect_files_outside_of_patterns'

The setting "sparse.expectFilesOutsideOfPatterns" is stored in the
global variable 'sparse_expect_files_outside_of_patterns' and allows
files marked with the `SKIP_WORKTREE` bit to be present in the worktree.

As this setting is closely related to repository, remove the global
variable and store the setting in the `struct repo_settings` along
with other sparse checkout related settings.

This also allows us to remove the definition '#define
USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE' from the file 'sparse-index.c'.

This change is part of an ongoing effort to eliminate global variables,
improve modularity and help libify the codebase.
