Add git-filter-repo

Will Chandler (ex-GitLab) requested to merge wc/add-filter-repo into master

What does this MR do?

Gitaly is in the process of adding the ability to rewrite repository history. To do this, we will use git-filter-repo, built by a prominent contributor to the Git project. The script becomes available as a Git subcommand when it is placed in $PATH.

Install the script to /opt/gitlab/embedded/bin and add patches for all three of its license files.
