fetchgit: import impure GIT_PROXY_COMMAND and SOCKS_SERVER, fixes #8605
These environment variables allow using fetchgit with git:// URLs using the SOCKS proxy technique described in 'Using Git with a SOCKS proxy': http://www.patthoyts.tk/blog/using-git-with-socks-proxy.html Briefly, GIT_PROXY_COMMAND is set to a script which invokes connect[1], which reads SOCKS_PROXY, which might be pointing to a local instance of 'ssh -D'.
