[Buildroot] [git commit] support/download/git: use FOO_DL_OPTS

[Thomas Petazzoni]

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=a1012b363a286125978de529eacf9d187d95907f
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

The manual states that FOO_DL_OPTS are valid for all the different
download backends, but that is not the case: at least the git backend
does not use them (it does not fail, it just ignores them).

Accept FOO_DL_OPTS in the git backend, and pass them to 'git fetch'.
There is no way that we can pass such options to submodules or lfs,
though.

Update the manual accordingly.
