Fix build order of git-filter-repo to fix unwanted rebuilds

Change git-filter-repo position in build order

When git-filter-repo is a dependency of gitaly, Omnibus will
place it early in the build order and, by necessity, git.

This behavior causes cache to bust frequently.  This change
re-arranges the dependency order and keeps git builds
in the later stages.

What does this MR do?

Fix build order of git-filter-repo to fix unwanted rebuilds.

git-filter-repo is a dependency of Gitaly. But placing it there will cause it to be built early in the build list, which will in-turn cause git to be built early (Because omnibus will build leaf dependencies first, before top level dependencies). git, being built from gitaly source will bust cache often, and cause unnecessary rebuilds. Hence, we are placing git-filter-repo as a project dependency after git.
