1. gitAndTools: move everything to the top level …

   The comment at the top of git-and-tools/default.nix said:
   
       /* All git-relates tools live here, in a separate attribute set so that users
        * can get a fast overview over what's available.
   
   but unfortunately that hasn't actually held up in practice.
   
   Git-related packages have continued to be added to the top level, or
   into gitAndTools, or sometimes both, basically at random, so having
   gitAndTools is just confusing.  In fact, until I looked as part of
   working on getting rid of gitAndTools, one program (ydiff) was
   packaged twice independently, once in gitAndTools and once at the top
   level (I fixed this in 98c3490).
   
   So I think it's for the best if we move away from gitAndTools, and
   just put all the packages it previously contained at the top level.
   I've implemented this here by just making gitAndTools an alias for the
   top level -- this saves having loads of lines in aliases.nix.  This
   means that people can keep referring to gitAndTools in their
   configuration, but it won't be allowed to be used within Nixpkgs, and
   it won't be presented to new users by e.g. nix search.
   
   The only other change here that I'm aware of is that
   appendToName "minimal" is not longer called on the default git
   package, because doing that would have necessitated having a private
   gitBase variable like before.  I think it makes more sense not to do
   that anyway, and reserve the "minimal" suffix only for gitMinimal.
