cli: extend 'uses' keyword for action blocks to handle any Git repo (as opposed to just Github's)

[ivotron]

Extend the uses keyword of action blocks so that users can provide arbitrary Git URLs. The format would be:

{url}/{user}/{repo}@{ref}

or

{url}/{user}/{repo}/{path}@{ref}

Using these REST APIs might require defining some place to save auth details for these. Probably somewhere separate from popper.yml since you probably don't want these sitting in plain text in version control.

@eltrufas thanks for the feedback! At some point the popper archive implemented the functionality where it would store this in a file locally in the repo and put the name of that file in .gitignore. We'd need to go back on the commit history to look for this

[ivotron]

Gave this a bit more of thought, I've updated the title and description as a result. It simplifies things as we don't need to use a REST API anymore (we do everything through Git)

Hey ivo, i have an issue, im not sure how to handle urls from different services. Before we could do user/repo/dir-path but now im not sure how to handle a generic git url without breaking back compatibility.

Here is my code: https://github.com/barbaraDorame/popper/tree/issue-483

Thanks in advance!
