Provide a build time default-pager setting
Provide a DEFAULT_PAGER knob so packagers can set the fallback pager to something appropriate during the build. Examples: On (old) solaris systems, /usr/bin/less (typically the first less found) doesn't understand the default arguments (FXRS), which forces users to alter their environment (PATH, GIT_PAGER, LESS, etc) or have a local or global gitconfig before paging works as expected. On Debian systems, by policy packages must fall back to the 'pager' command, so that changing the target of the /usr/bin/pager symlink changes the default pager for all packages at once.
