.gitcheck: re-write entirely. force global config.

the way the old script worked was extremely hacky

it's cleaner just to make the user configure git

i haven't used anything from the old .gitcheck script,
which is now deleted. i completely re-wrote this, in
a much simpler way.

this is less maintenance now, when things change in
the upstream projects. coreboot makes heavy use of git
within its build system
