It needs to be separate script, because once the submodules are broken
and the `variables.mk` file is not available from `nimbus-build-system`
then we cannot even call `make clean-git` successfully because it will
be caught by the `if` clause that checks for `variables.mk`.
Possible fix for issues with submodules not being updated in some
windows release builds.

This is a continuation of attempts to fix provlems with Windows CI hosts
getting into a broken state due to `.git` directory becoming a file for
random submodules for unknown reason.
Instead of relying on Jenkins functionality of `cleanWs()` function
provided by the [Workspace Cleanup Plugin](https://plugins.jenkins.io/ws-cleanup)
we use Git which should be more reliable, and possibly also speed up the
initial checkout of the repo and submodules.
A nice side-effect is that the repo checkout on all builds after the first
one takes ~1 minute instead of ~5 minutes.
