Many CI setups rely on the GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL environment variable to
define project-specific gitconfigs, often to inject credentials using
git's url.<base>.insteadOf configuration.

However, BitBake restricts the environment variables passed to the
fetch task to a fixed list (FETCH_EXPORT_VARS). Because
GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL is missing from this default list, the variable is
stripped from the environment.

Add GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL to FETCH_EXPORT_VARS to natively support this
credential injection method (and GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL in general). This
also eliminates confusion for users who expect the variable to
propagate after adding it to `BB_ENV_PASSTHROUGH_ADDITIONS`, only to
find it has no effect during the fetch task.
