add GIT_SHALLOW_FILE to propagate --shallow-file to subprocesses

This may be needed when a hook is run after a new shallow pack is
received, but .git/shallow is not settled yet. A temporary shallow
file to plug all loose ends should be used instead. GIT_SHALLOW_FILE
is overriden by --shallow-file.

--shallow-file does not work in this case because the hook may spawn
many git subprocesses and the launch commands do not have
--shallow-file as it's a recent addition.
