blob: optionally read attributes from repository

When `GIT_BLOB_FILTER_ATTTRIBUTES_FROM_HEAD` is passed to
`git_blob_filter`, read attributes from `gitattributes` files that
are checked in to the repository at the HEAD revision.  This passes
the flag `GIT_FILTER_ATTRIBUTES_FROM_HEAD` to the filter functions.
