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 - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
-=========================================================
-
-Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
-unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
-and full access to internals.
-
-Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
-License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
-compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
-Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
-
-Please read the file [INSTALL][] for installation instructions.
-
-Many Git online resources are accessible from <https://git-scm.com/>
-including full documentation and Git related tools.
-
-See [Documentation/gittutorial.txt][] to get started, then see
-[Documentation/giteveryday.txt][] for a useful minimum set of commands, and
-`Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt` for documentation of each command.
-If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
-read with `man gittutorial` or `git help tutorial`, and the
-documentation of each command with `man git-<commandname>` or `git help
-<commandname>`.
-
-CVS users may also want to read [Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt][]
-(`man gitcvs-migration` or `git help cvs-migration` if git is
-installed).
-
-The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
-mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
-requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
-[Documentation/SubmittingPatches][] for instructions on patch submission).
-To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
-the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
-available at <https://lore.kernel.org/git/>,
-<http://marc.info/?l=git> and other archival sites.
-
-Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to
-the Git Security mailing list <git-security@googlegroups.com>.
-
-The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
-list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
-list.  The discussion following them give a good reference for
-project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
-
-The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very
-first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker"
-and the name as (depending on your mood):
-
- - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
-   actually used by any common UNIX command.  The fact that it is a
-   mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
-   dictionary of slang.
- - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
-   works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
