Add a GitHub Commit node type (#1175)
At present, the Git commit node type lives in a strange state of shared
responsibility between GitHub and Git. The Git plugin is nominally
responsible for it, but its render method tries to show a hyperlink to
GitHub -- which is awkward for many reasons, including that the same Git
commit could have multiple hyperlinks on GitHub.

This commit resolves that issue by separating the existing commit type
into two: the Git Commit type, which is owned by the Git plugin and
doesn't have hyperlinks or any fancy GitHub metadata, and the GitHub
Commit, which is owned by the GitHub plugin, corresponds to a unique
database id in GitHub, and has a corresponding GitHub url.

The two commits are connected by a CorrespondsToCommit edge type, which
links from the GitHub commit to the corresponding Git commit.

This is necessary for #1136, as if we want to make descriptions a part
of the graph payload, we need for descriptions to be unique for a given
address--and descriptions are only unique if we identifiy each GitHub
commit pointer as a separate address.

Test plan: The unit testing in this part of the codebase is light, so I
verified that the frontend work as expected for `sourcecred/sourcecred`
and `sourcecred/research`. The new node type and edge type appear
properly in the UI, the GitHub commits are connected to their Git
counterparts, etc.
