git: spawn a separate git process for network operations
Reasoning:

`jj` fails to push/fetch over ssh depending on the system.
Issue #4979 lists over 20 related issues on this and proposes spawning
a `git` subprocess for tasks related to the network (in fact, just push/fetch
are enough).

This PR implements this.

Implementation Details:

This PR implements shelling out to `git` via `std::process::Command`.
There are 2 sharp edges with the patch:
 - it relies on having to parse out git errors to match the error codes
   (and parsing git2's errors in one particular instance to match the
   error behaviour). This seems mostly unavoidable

 - to ensure matching behaviour with git2, the tests are maintained across the
   two implementations. This is done using test_case, as with the rest
   of the codebase

Testing:

Run the rust tests:
```
$ cargo test
```

Build:
```
$ cargo build
```

Clone a private repo:
```
$ path/to/jj git clone --config='git.subprocess=true' <REPO_SSH_URL>
```

Create new commit and push
```
$ echo "TEST" > this_is_a_test_file.txt
$ path/to/jj describe -m 'test commit'
$ path/to/jj git push --config='git.subprocess=true' -b <branch>
```


Issues Closed

With a grain of salt, but most of these problems should be fixed (or at least checked if they are fixed). They are the ones listed in #4979 .
