We do not use a "plugin system" for Git addons anymore, and therefore this
directory is no longer useful. Indeed that directory is way more confusing,
given that it includes more than mere Git addons, going from Bitbucket server
command-line tools to complete rewrites of Git in exotic programming languages.
Also, without this directory, the mental load of decision-making reduces a lot.
When anyone is interested in including a new git-related tool, just put it into
pkgs/applications/version-management, without apologies.

Tool is still WIP but this is one of the first results.
I manually audited the results and removed some results that were not valid.
Note that some of these packages maybe should have more constrained platforms set
instead of broken set, but I think not being perfectly correct is better than
just keep trying to build all these things and never succeeding.
Some observations:
- Some darwin builds require XCode tools
- aarch64-linux builds sometimes suffer from using gcc9
- gcc9 is getting older and misses some new libraries/features
- Sometimes tools try to do system detection or expect some explicit settings for
platforms that are not x86_64-linux
This change fixes the path to 'nodejs' in the Sapling scripts, so that
the 'sl web' command works OOTB even if the user has a fresh `$PATH`
without node itself.
However, this is really a developer-only tool, and isn't needed just to
e.g. clone repositories. In particular, a 'fetchSapling' codepath would
not need it; therefore we make it optional, but turned on by default.
The intention is to have a 'saplingMinimal' expression which can be used
for that path.
NOTE: this does NOT add a 'saplingMinimal' expression to
all-packages.nix; that would just result in more Hydra churn, so we
avoid it for now.
