Slightly simplify LastCommitCache (#20444)

The LastCommitCache code is a little complex and there is unnecessary
duplication between the gogit and nogogit variants.

This PR adds the LastCommitCache as a field to the git.Repository and
pre-creates it in the ReferencesGit helpers etc. There has been some
simplification and unification of the variant code.
