chore(3p/git): Unvendor git and track patches instead r/2903
This was vendored a long time ago under the expectation that keeping
it in sync with cgit would be easier this way, but it has proven not
to be a big issue.

On the other hand, a vendored copy of git is an annoying maintenance
burden. It is much easier to rebase the single (dottime) patch that we
have.

This removes the vendored copy of git and instead passes the git
source code to cgit via `pkgs.srcOnly`, which includes the applied
patch so that cgit can continue rendering dottime.

-Git v2.12.3 Release Notes
-=========================
-
-Fixes since v2.12.2
--------------------
-
- * The "parse_config_key()" API function has been cleaned up.
-
- * An helper function to make it easier to append the result from
-   real_path() to a strbuf has been added.
-
- * The t/perf performance test suite was not prepared to test not so
-   old versions of Git, but now it covers versions of Git that are not
-   so ancient.
-
- * Picking two versions of Git and running tests to make sure the
-   older one and the newer one interoperate happily has now become
-   possible.
-
- * Teach the "debug" helper used in the test framework that allows a
-   command to run under "gdb" to make the session interactive.
-
- * "git repack --depth=<n>" for a long time busted the specified depth
-   when reusing delta from existing packs.  This has been corrected.
-
- * user.email that consists of only cruft chars should consistently
-   error out, but didn't.
-
- * A few tests were run conditionally under (rare) conditions where
-   they cannot be run (like running cvs tests under 'root' account).
-
- * "git branch @" created refs/heads/@ as a branch, and in general the
-   code that handled @{-1} and @{upstream} was a bit too loose in
-   disambiguating.
-
- * "git fetch" that requests a commit by object name, when the other
-   side does not allow such an request, failed without much
-   explanation.
-
- * "git filter-branch --prune-empty" drops a single-parent commit that
-   becomes a no-op, but did not drop a root commit whose tree is empty.
-
- * Recent versions of Git treats http alternates (used in dumb http
-   transport) just like HTTP redirects and requires the client to
-   enable following it, due to security concerns.  But we forgot to
-   give a warning when we decide not to honor the alternates.
-
- * NO_PTHREADS build has been broken for some time; now fixed.
-
- * Fix for potential segv introduced in v2.11.0 and later (also
-   v2.10.2).
-
- * A few unterminated here documents in tests were fixed, which in
-   turn revealed incorrect expectations the tests make. These tests
-   have been updated.
-
- * "git-shell" rejects a request to serve a repository whose name
-   begins with a dash, which makes it no longer possible to get it
-   confused into spawning service programs like "git-upload-pack" with
-   an option like "--help", which in turn would spawn an interactive
-   pager, instead of working with the repository user asked to access
-   (i.e. the one whose name is "--help").
-
-Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
