advice: add --no-advice global option
Advice hints must be disabled individually by setting the relevant advice.* variables to false in the Git configuration. For server-side and scripted usages of Git where hints can be a hindrance, it can be cumbersome to maintain configuration to ensure all advice hints are disabled in perpetuity. This is a particular concern in tests, where new or changed hints can result in failed assertions. Add a --no-advice global option to disable all advice hints from being displayed. This is independent of the toggles for individual advice hints. Use an internal environment variable (GIT_ADVICE) to ensure this configuration is propagated to the usage site, even if it executes in a subprocess.
