bitbake: fetch/git2: support git's safe.bareRepository

When git is configured with safe.bareRepository=explicit [1], the
bitbake git fetcher fails miserably. LWN has an article about the
problem that this configuration option addresses and why it is useful
in [2].

It also seems that it is being rolled out in some environments as a
default for users.

In order to allow having this configuration turned on for a user's
environment in general, the fetcher has to be tought to use --git-dir=
for all relevent git operations.

The alternative, implemented here, is to forcibly turn off that option
for all git operations. In the future, we could look into converting
these to using the --git-dir= command line argument instead.

While at it, fix one open-coded invocation of git that wasn't using
ud.basecmd
