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.

-Long-running process protocol
-=============================
-
-This protocol is used when Git needs to communicate with an external
-process throughout the entire life of a single Git command. All
-communication is in pkt-line format (see technical/protocol-common.txt)
-over standard input and standard output.
-
-Handshake
----------
-
-Git starts by sending a welcome message (for example,
-"git-filter-client"), a list of supported protocol version numbers, and
-a flush packet. Git expects to read the welcome message with "server"
-instead of "client" (for example, "git-filter-server"), exactly one
-protocol version number from the previously sent list, and a flush
-packet. All further communication will be based on the selected version.
-The remaining protocol description below documents "version=2". Please
-note that "version=42" in the example below does not exist and is only
-there to illustrate how the protocol would look like with more than one
-version.
-
-After the version negotiation Git sends a list of all capabilities that
-it supports and a flush packet. Git expects to read a list of desired
-capabilities, which must be a subset of the supported capabilities list,
-and a flush packet as response:
-------------------------
-packet:          git> git-filter-client
-packet:          git> version=2
-packet:          git> version=42
-packet:          git> 0000
-packet:          git< git-filter-server
-packet:          git< version=2
-packet:          git< 0000
-packet:          git> capability=clean
-packet:          git> capability=smudge
-packet:          git> capability=not-yet-invented
-packet:          git> 0000
-packet:          git< capability=clean
-packet:          git< capability=smudge
-packet:          git< 0000
-------------------------

-Shutdown
---------
-
-Git will close
-the command pipe on exit. The filter is expected to detect EOF
-and exit gracefully on its own. Git will wait until the filter
-process has stopped.
