Support non-GitHub git repo hosts

See original GitHub issue

There are a bunch of other hosts out there other than vanilla github repositories. We should support most of these eventually!

Some that come to mind:

GitLab (#266 )
GitHub gists (#306)
bitbucket (#311)
osf.io (#216)

repo2docker expects to be given a URL that points to a .git repository, so the changes needed for each provider basically entail knowing how to mix a URL structure into a link that repo2docker can work with.

@betatim that makes sense to me, and I think that’s the ‘scheme’ we have now, where gh is just the key for github. Additional providers can be registered as new keys. I think we can start with a git provider, which accepts any git url as the escape hatch, then we can bless gitlab, bitbucket with special handling as we develop it.
