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 v2.5.5 Release Notes
-========================
-
-Fixes since v2.5.4
-------------------
-
- * Bugfix patches were backported from the 'master' front to plug heap
-   corruption holes, to catch integer overflow in the computation of
-   pathname lengths, and to get rid of the name_path API.  Both of
-   these would have resulted in writing over an under-allocated buffer
-   when formulating pathnames while tree traversal.
