a559135970 refactor(readTree): Initialise repo roots without recursing
Plumbs an additional internal argument through readTree that indicates
whether the top-level of a tree is being read, and avoids recursing
into itself in that case. This changes the externally visible
behaviour of readTree (it is now expected to be called a level higher
than previously).

This allows us to reduce the amount of boilerplate needed to bootstrap
the TVL repository (by not having to specify the individual folders
that need to be read).

For reasons related to an infinite recursion we could not (be bothered
to) debug, the top-level `config` key (which held the attribute set
passed on by readTree) has been removed. This is not needed, as it is
already passed on by readTree ...
