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 v2.4.4 Release Notes
-========================
-
-Fixes since v2.4.3
-------------------
-
- * l10n updates for German.
-
- * An earlier leakfix to bitmap testing code was incomplete.
-
- * "git clean pathspec..." tried to lstat(2) and complain even for
-   paths outside the given pathspec.
-
- * Communication between the HTTP server and http_backend process can
-   lead to a dead-lock when relaying a large ref negotiation request.
-   Diagnose the situation better, and mitigate it by reading such a
-   request first into core (to a reasonable limit).
-
- * The clean/smudge interface did not work well when filtering an
-   empty contents (failed and then passed the empty input through).
-   It can be argued that a filter that produces anything but empty for
-   an empty input is nonsense, but if the user wants to do strange
-   things, then why not?
-
- * Make "git stash something --help" error out, so that users can
-   safely say "git stash drop --help".
-
- * Clarify that "log --raw" and "log --format=raw" are unrelated
-   concepts.
-
- * Catch a programmer mistake to feed a pointer not an array to
-   ARRAY_SIZE() macro, by using a couple of GCC extensions.
-
-Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code
-clean-ups.
