trace2: rename environment variables to GIT_TRACE2*

For an environment variable that is supposed to be set by users, the
GIT_TR2* env vars are just too unclear, inconsistent, and ugly.

Most of the established GIT_* environment variables don't use
abbreviations, and in case of the few that do (GIT_DIR,
GIT_COMMON_DIR, GIT_DIFF_OPTS) it's quite obvious what the
abbreviations (DIR and OPTS) stand for.  But what does TR stand for?
Track, traditional, trailer, transaction, transfer, transformation,
transition, translation, transplant, transport, traversal, tree,
trigger, truncate, trust, or ...?!

The trace2 facility, as the '2' suffix in its name suggests, is
supposed to eventually supercede Git's original trace facility.  It's
reasonable to expect that the corresponding environment variables
follow suit, and after the original GIT_TRACE variables they are
called GIT_TRACE2; there is no such thing is 'GIT_TR'.

All trace2-specific config variables are, very sensibly, in the
'trace2' section, not in 'tr2'.

OTOH, we don't gain anything at all by omitting the last three
characters of "trace" from the names of these environment variables.

So let's rename all GIT_TR2* environment variables to GIT_TRACE2*,
before they make their way into a stable release.

trace2: use system/global config for default trace2 settings

Teach git to read the system and global config files for
default Trace2 settings.  This allows system-wide Trace2 settings to
be installed and inherited to make it easier to manage a collection of
systems.

The original GIT_TR2* environment variables are loaded afterwards and
can be used to override the system settings.

Only the system and global config files are used.  Repo and worktree
local config files are ignored.  Likewise, the "-c" command line
arguments are also ignored.  These limits are for performance reasons.

(1) For users not using Trace2, there should be minimal overhead to
detect that Trace2 is not enabled.  In particular, Trace2 should not
allocate lots of otherwise unused data strucutres.

(2) For accurate performance measurements, Trace2 should be initialized
as early in the git process as possible, and before most of the normal
git process initialization (which involves discovering the .git directory
and reading a hierarchy of config files).
