## Purpose
This is a refactor toward building an abstraction over managing git
repositories.
Afterwards, it does not matter anymore if they are stored on the local
disk or somewhere remote.
## What this PR changes
We used `git.OpenRepository` everywhere previously.
Now, we should split them into two distinct functions:
Firstly, there are temporary repositories which do not change:
```go
git.OpenRepository(ctx, diskPath)
```
Gitea managed repositories having a record in the database in the
`repository` table are moved into the new package `gitrepo`:
```go
gitrepo.OpenRepository(ctx, repo_model.Repo)
```
Why is `repo_model.Repository` the second parameter instead of file
path?
Because then we can easily adapt our repository storage strategy.
The repositories can be stored locally, however, they could just as well
be stored on a remote server.
## Further changes in other PRs
- A Git Command wrapper on package `gitrepo` could be created. i.e.
`NewCommand(ctx, repo_model.Repository, commands...)`. `git.RunOpts{Dir:
repo.RepoPath()}`, the directory should be empty before invoking this
method and it can be filled in the function only. #28940
- Remove the `RepoPath()`/`WikiPath()` functions to reduce the
possibility of mistakes.

Use `default_merge_message/REBASE_TEMPLATE.md` for amending the message
of the last commit in the list of commits that was merged. Previously
this template was mentioned in the documentation but not actually used.
In this template additional variables `CommitTitle` and `CommitBody` are
available, for the title and body of the commit.
Ideally the message of every commit would be updated using the template,
but doing an interactive rebase or merging commits one by one is
complicated, so that is left as a future improvement.
The merge and update branch code was previously a little tangled and had
some very long functions. The functions were not very clear in their
reasoning and there were deficiencies in their logging and at least one
bug in the handling of LFS for update by rebase.
This PR substantially refactors this code and splits things out to into
separate functions. It also attempts to tidy up the calls by wrapping
things in "context"s. There are also attempts to improve logging when
there are errors.
