Allow to control where the replace refs are looked for
It can be useful to have grafts or replace refs for specific use-cases while
keeping the default "view" of the repository pristine (or with a different
set of grafts/replace refs).
It is possible to use a different graft file with GIT_GRAFT_FILE, but while
replace refs are more powerful, they don't have an equivalent override.
Add a GIT_REPLACE_REF_BASE environment variable to control where git is
going to look for replace refs.
