94cebe41f3 chore(ops/git-serving): Remove josh state from whitby backups
As cschilling explained on cl/3563, there isn't actually anything in
this state that we *need* to persist. We're still keeping it in a
persistent directory on disk as this serves as an optimisation after
restarts of josh.

0e3858b5e5 refactor(whitby): Move restic path configuration into modules
This lets each service declare their backup paths together with the
configuration for the service, which is a lot more sensible than what
we had before.

Fixes b/147

ec38839c33 feat(git-serving): Configure josh to serve the depot over HTTP
Previously we served the dumb git HTTP protocol from code.tvl.fyi via
cgit. This CL disables this feature and instead runs josh in the same
location (by redirecting appropriately), but while also enabling
partial cloning of all subtrees of the depot.

For example, after this CL the following would result in an
independent clone of //nix/readTree:

    git clone https://code.tvl.fyi/depot.git:/nix/readTree.git

Note that there are no josh workspaces configured at all for now,
these references are only for static depot subpaths.

Please refer to the documentation for josh for more information on
available kinds of josh filters.

Josh state is kept in a systemd state directory in /var/lib/josh and
backed up to Restic. Backing this up is necessary, as josh uses
stateful information to do things like tracking merges and rewriting
history per subtree appropriately to avoid cloned repositories ending
up in peculiar states.
