doc: Remove mention of Git protocol support

The project Git server hasn't supported cloning with the Git protocol
in a very long time, but the documentation never got the memo. Remove
the mention of using the Git protocol, and while there wrap a mention
of Git in <productname> tags.

Backpatch down to all supported versions.
