fix: isolate TestSetupGlobalGitIgnore_ReadOnly from user's git config (#1045)

The test was failing because it called 'git config --global core.excludesfile'
which returned the real user's gitignore path instead of using the test's
temp directory.

Fix: Set GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL env var to an empty temp config file, ensuring
the test uses the temp directory's .config/git/ignore path as intended.

Also extracted the isolation logic into a reusable setupIsolatedGitConfig helper.
