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.

-This directory used to contain scripted implementations of builtins

-They have now been removed, but can be retrieved from an older commit
-that removed them from this directory.

-They're interesting for their reference value to any aspiring plumbing
-users who want to learn how pieces can be fit together, but in many
-cases have drifted enough from the actual implementations Git uses to
-be instructive.
-
-Other things that can be useful:
-
- * Some commands such as git-gc wrap other commands, and what they're
-   doing behind the scenes can be seen by running them under
-   GIT_TRACE=1
-
- * Doing `git log` on paths matching '*--helper.c' will show
-   incremental effort in the direction of moving existing shell
-   scripts to C.
