specs: Fix Rugged picking up gitconfig files

While we make sure to override `HOME` in our Ruby specs so that Git
wouldn't pick up the gitconfig, libgit2 in fact parses the passwd file
to obtain the user's home directory. Consequentially, overriding the
environment variable is not sufficient to keep libgit2 from reading the
user's gitconfig files.

Fix this issue by overriding Rugged's gitconfig search paths.
