When doing the 8.4-rc1, I've noticed (probably also because of the dying
disk on sourceware) that git clone is extremely slow, and furthermore when
all of us have some local snapshots, it is a waste of resources to download
everything again. Especially for the -f runs when we'll need to wait until
git tag -s asks us for a gpg password interactively.
The following patch adds an option through which one can point the script
at a local gcc .git directory from which it can --dissociate --reference ...
during cloning to speed it up.

* gcc_release: Add support for -b local-git-repo argument.
This patch updates the gcc_release script, used for snapshots and
releases, to use git instead of SVN.
The parts of the changes used in building snapshots have been tested.
The parts used for building releases have not, so it's likely further
fixes may turn out to be needed there when releases are first built
from git.
* gcc_release: Use git instead of SVN.
* crontab: Update gcc_release calls.
The FTP protocol is getting long in the tooth, and we should emphasize
HTTPS where that is available. This patch changes various gcc.gnu.org
URL's to instead use HTTPS.
For instance, kernel.org shut down FTP access in 2017, with the
explanation:
- The protocol is inefficient and requires adding awkward kludges to
firewalls and load-balancing daemons
- FTP servers have no support for caching or accelerators, which has
significant performance impacts
- Most software implementations have stagnated and see infrequent
updates
