cargo: enable vendored-libgit2, document how to properly dynamically link libgit2

This changes less than it seems. Our CI builds already mostly linked a vendored
copy of libgit2. This is because before this commit, it turns out that `git2`
could link `libgit2` *either* statically or dynamically based on whether it could
find a version of libgit2 it liked to link dynamically. Our CI builds usually did
not provide such a version AFAIK.

This made the kind of binary `cargo install` would produce unpredictable and may
have contributed to #2896.  I was once very surprised when I did `brew upgrade libgit2` and then
`cargo build --release` suddenly switched from building dynamically linked `jj` to the vendored version.

Instead, if a packager wants to link `libgit2` dynamically, they should set an
environment variable, as described inside the diff of this commit. I also think
we should recommend static linking as `git2` is quite picky about the versions of
`libgit2` it supports. See also rust-lang/git2-rs#1073

This might be related to #4115.
