Speed up noop registry updates with GitHub

Speed up noop registry updates with GitHub

This commit adds supports to registry index updates to use GitHub's HTTP API [1]
which is purportedly [2] much faster than doing a git clone, and emprically that
appears to be the case.

This logic kicks in by looking at the URL of a registry's index, and if it looks
exactly like `github.com/$user/$repo` then we'll attempt to use GitHub's API,
otherwise we always fall back to a git update.

This behavior may *slow down* registry updates which actually need to download
information as an extra HTTP request is performed to figure out that we need to
perform a git fetch, but hopefully that won't actually be the case much of the
time!
