Use go-git for common git operations instead of calling the git

command using `os/exec`

This patch updates all the helper functions to use `go-git` library
instead of having to call `os/exec.Command`/`os/exec.CombinedOutput` in
order to clone repository, fetch tags... These changes brings more
dependencies to our `go.mod` but in exchange it simplifies the way we
interact with git repositories and improves errors handling and
readability.

Future changes will also benefit from this patch, especially
conversation webhook generator that will need to checkout multiple
version tags.
