Using the Github API instead of a local git repository

[hellow554]

If you want to use this tool you either specify a local git repository at compile time or it will always clone a bare repository on every cargo-bisect-rustc run.

This is somewhat inconvenient and using the Github API is something one could do instead.

What are your thoughts about it? I'd like to implement it, maybe as a flag (--no-local-git-repo-is-available-so-use-github-instead-plz)

If we can reliably use the GitHub API (without, e.g., hitting rate limits) then I would love to do that by default (with perhaps a flag to fallback to local git repo). Happy to accept a PR!

👍 to this idea too.

I have a prototype of this that I need to rebase.
