make-release: Use the same credentials for Gerrit API and Git operations
requested to merge main-I60c90f33e3a2d82df11b953131508fbbec47d477-I455b614e6c75ff4d50a2eb99d83837cb02160021 into main
Prior to this change, the Gerrit API client resolved its credentials one
way (either via username/password in the configuration file or
requests netrc resolution) and git operations were left to resolve
credentials independently via their own default behavior.
Ensure git operations use the same credentials that are resolved for
the Gerrit API by configuring a credential helper for all newly cloned
repos. The clone() function will now yield a git() function that
will set an environment variable with the password for all underlying
git commands.
