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 v2.6.1 Release Notes
-========================
-
-Fixes since v2.6
-----------------
-
- * xdiff code we use to generate diffs is not prepared to handle
-   extremely large files.  It uses "int" in many places, which can
-   overflow if we have a very large number of lines or even bytes in
-   our input files, for example.  Cap the input size to somewhere
-   around 1GB for now.
-
- * Some protocols (like git-remote-ext) can execute arbitrary code
-   found in the URL.  The URLs that submodules use may come from
-   arbitrary sources (e.g., .gitmodules files in a remote
-   repository), and can hurt those who blindly enable recursive
-   fetch.  Restrict the allowed protocols to well known and safe
-   ones.
