environ: GIT_FLUSH should be made a usual Boolean
This uses atoi() and checks if the result is not zero to decide what
to do. Turning it into the usual Boolean environment variable to
use git_env_bool() would not break those who have been using "set to
0, or set to non-zero, that can be parsed with atoi()" values, but
will match the expectation of those who expected "true" to mean
"yes".
