add 'git credential' plumbing command

Browse Source 
The credential API is in C, and not available to scripting languages.
Expose the functionalities of the API by wrapping them into a new
plumbing command "git credentials".

In other words, replace the internal "test-credential" by an official Git
command.

Remove a matching credential, if any, from the helper's storage.
The details of the credential will be provided on the helper's stdin
stream. The credential is split into a set of named attributes.
Attributes are provided to the helper, one per line. Each attribute is
specified by a key-value pair, separated by an `=` (equals) sign,
followed by a newline. The key may contain any bytes except `=`,
newline, or NUL. The value may contain any bytes except newline or NUL.
In both cases, all bytes are treated as-is (i.e., there is no quoting,
and one cannot transmit a value with newline or NUL in it). The list of
attributes is terminated by a blank line or end-of-file.
Git will send the following attributes (but may not send all of
them for a given credential; for example, a `host` attribute makes no
sense when dealing with a non-network protocol):
`protocol`::
The protocol over which the credential will be used (e.g.,
`https`).
`host`::
The remote hostname for a network credential.
`path`::
The path with which the credential will be used. E.g., for
accessing a remote https repository, this will be the
repository's path on the server.
`username`::
The credential's username, if we already have one (e.g., from a
URL, from the user, or from a previously run helper).
`password`::
The credential's password, if we are asking it to be stored.
stream. The exact format is the same as the input/output format of the
`git credential` plumbing command (see the section `INPUT/OUTPUT
FORMAT` in linkgit:git-credential[7] for a detailed specification).
For a `get` operation, the helper should produce a list of attributes
on stdout in the same format. A helper is free to produce a subset, or
