pipeline: accept other git hosts than GitHub e.g. GitLab

Some projects don't host their font project repositories originally on GitHub. E.g. SMC host on GitLab and merely mirror to GitHub. Hence, the projects live on GitLab, so do issue trackers etc. I wonder if we should accept other hosts for projects. This could make tooling more complicated when automation expects the GitHub API to be available, e.g. could be when downloading attachments from tag releases (I'll file an issue for this in googlefonts/gftools#230).
For an introduction see also googlefonts/gftools#231
If we have a https:// url to the git repository, that works with git clone, this actually works already in gftools packager e.g. in upstream.yaml
repository_url: https://github.com/smc/Chilanka.git
can also be
repository_url: https://gitlab.com/smc/fonts/chilanka.git
and the result will be the same.
