Most of the work done to make submit_job() support GitLab was adding a new GitRepository class, GenericGitRepository, and rewriting clone_git_repo() to use it. The new class is intended for simple, (presumably) host-agnostic Git operations like cloning. I also changed create_git_repository_instance() to fall back to creating a GenericGitRepository instance for an unknown git_host instead of returning None.

I have tested the new submit_job() on both GitHub and GitLab by configuring the bot to use this simple script hosted on Codeberg (build_job_script = test.sh@https://codeberg.org/sondrebr/test-sbatch) to verify that the new clone_git_repo() implementation still works with an arbitrary Git hosting platform. I of course also tested that submit_job() still works with a local build_job_script.

As a side note, the functionality of retrieving the build job script from a separate Git repository seems to be undocumented; I made an issue for it (#401).

Closing this in favor of a larger PR implementing GitLab support for the bot: build command, #403.
