repos.yml duplicates a bunch of information that's either already available from the GitHub API or we can easily add using tags. This is a source of toil and frustration.

An entry in repos.yml should only be necessary for specifying metadata that we can't easily get from GitHub tags.

For example, we already tag our repos with govuk. type is a natural fit for a tag. description should come from the repo description and not be duplicated here. retired should be inferred if the repo is archived. Team ownership could probably be a tag.

Fix alphagov/govspeak-visual-editor not found in CI.

This is really just hacking around a bug (#4259), but for now it seems
that when a private repo is listed without `private_repo: true`, CI
fails in at least some circumstances.

We still need to set these for now, until we fix #4259.

D'oh. Thanks @ChrisBAshton 😄

TIL fix (as opposed to fixes) is one of GitHub magicky keywords 🙃
