[PATCH] python3-setuptools-scm: respect GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES

[ecordonnier@snap.com]

From: Etienne Cordonnier <ecordonnier@snap.com>

Fixes https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15740

python3-setuptools-scm was ignoring GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES which is set by poky,
and it was thus finding a wrong value of "toplevel" in ./src/setuptools_scm/_file_finders/git.py
The code is supposed to generate the list of files contained in python3-setuptools-scm, but it was
instead running "git archive" on whatever git repository was above the build directory, because the
tarball containing the sources of python3-setuptools-scm does not contain a .git directory.

This is barely noticeable when building as a subdirectory of poky which is only 48MB, but this was
causing serious slowdowns of python3-setuptools-scm:do_compile when building
inside a big git repository with files tracked using git-lfs (50 minutes in my use-case).

+Subject: [PATCH] respect GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES
+
+Fix for https://github.com/pypa/setuptools-scm/issues/1103
+
+When searching for the root-directory of the git repository e.g. with git rev-parse --show-toplevel,
+git stops the search when reaching $GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES. By ignoring this variable, the function
+_git_toplevel can go above the real git repository (e.g. when packaging a tarball without .git repository),
+and then runs "git archive" on an unrelated git repository.
