git-download: Use a single download script for all derivations.

That way, we have only one /gnu/store/…-git-download instead of one
/gnu/store/…-PACKAGE-checkout-builder for each package.

This is a followup to ced200328ca6337ac446e4557c645629e7d7a997.

* guix/git-download.scm (git-fetch)[build]: Get the URL, commit, and
recursive parameter using 'getenv'.  Pass #:script-name and #:env-vars
arguments to 'gexp->derivation'.
