Use the `net/git-checkout` library to support git repository servers
in general, instead of supporting only GitHub. A HTTP(S) source is
treated as a repository source when it ends with the ".git" suffix.
Declare a "git" user agent, and use a secure client context for HTTPS
unless the `GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY` environment variable is defined.

The new argument is needed to reliably write to a tmp file, for
example, where the existence of the tmp file prevents other processes
from using the same name.
Git-based hosting services most commonly support the smart HTTPS
protocol, which carries "git://"-format payload in a fairly straightforward
way. (Supporting the dumb protocol looks much more difficult.)

The `net/git-checkout` library implements enough of `git clone` to
extract a tree from a repository that is accessed via the "git://"
protocol. It doesn't preserve a local clone, and it attempts to
download only the slice of the repository that is needed for the
requested tree (depending on how the tree is referenced).

In particular, a #f argument can make sense if the length is 0.
Technically, a byte string's byte array is supposed to be nul-terminated,
but many uses of byte strings get away without that terminator. I've
adjust the documentation to note that `bytes-copy` will work with a
non-terminated byte string.
Merge to v6.1.1
The fixup is not allowed to changed the virtual
address of a SHT_PROGBITS section, so a expanded
".dynstr" section might have to be moved to a
virtual address after everything else.
