attr: add attr.tree for setting the treeish to read attributes from

44451a2 (attr: teach "--attr-source=<tree>" global option to "git",
2023-05-06) provided the ability to pass in a treeish as the attr
source. In the context of serving Git repositories as bare repos like we
do at GitLab however, it would be easier to point --attr-source to HEAD
for all commands by setting it once.

Add a new config attr.tree that allows this.
