Git wiki page

Another git update.

In preparation of a full git migration I have reorganised some parts of our git wiki page (1). 
The most important changes:
- moved the git-svn mirror details to a separate page. While the information is valuable, it's 
not really relevant for everyday git usage by contributors. I have kept a link at the bottom of 
the page.
- move the conversion notice to the bottom of the page. The more time passes since we 
moved the mirror setup to code.gnucash.org, the less relevant the conversion notice is.
- added a second "Committers" section, specifically for pure git repositories (ie not svn-
backed). We don't have one yet, but I'm preparing the information already.

Review and improvements are welcome.

There is one section in particular that will need improvement: branching and merging in a 
pure git environment. This should be a summary of our future git workflow strategy. We had a 
first discussion about this some time ago, but I think it's worth looking at what other projects 
are doing. I don't have enough git experience to come up with best practices. On the page I 
have added two links to specific git workflows that could serve as a starting point for 
discussion on this topic.

Feel free to update the page with every improvement you can think of.

Geert
