The merge script currently accepts a configuration function that will
be invoked _only_ when the `ng-dev merge` command is executed. This
has been done that way because the merge tooling usually relies on
external requests to Git or NPM for constructing the branch configurations.
We do not want to perform these slow external queries on any `ng-dev` command
though, so this became a lazily invoked function.
This commit adds support for these configuration functions to run
asynchronously (by returning a Promise that will be awaited), so that
requests could also be made to the Github API. This is benefical as it
could avoid dependence on the local Git state and the HTTP requests
are more powerful/faster.
Additionally, in order to be able to perform Github API requests
with an authenticated instance, the merge tool will pass through
a `GithubClient` instance that uses the specified `--github-token`
(or from the environment). This ensures that all API requests use
the same `GithubClient` instance and can be authenticated (mitigating
potential rate limits).

We recently added OAuth scope checking to the dev-infra Git client
and started leveraging it for the merge script. We set the `repo` scope
as required for running the merge script. We can loosen this requirement
as in the Angular org where the script is consumed, only pull requests on
public repositories are merged through the script.
This should help with reducing the risk with compromised tokens as no
access had to be granted on `repo:invite`, `repo_deployment` etc.

Scripts provided in the `ng-dev` command might use local `git`
commands. For such scripts, we keep track of the branch that
has been checked out before the command has been invoked.
We do this so that we can later (upon command completion)
restore back to the original branch. We do not want to
leave the Git repository in a dirty state.
It looks like this logic currently only deals with branches
but does not work properly when a command is invoked from
a detached head. We can make it work by just checking out
the previous revision (if no branch is checked out).

GitClient now uses GithubClient for github API interactions. GithubClient is
a class which extends Octokit and provides a member which allows for GraphQL
requests against the Github GraphQL api, as well as providing convenience methods
for common/repeated Github API requests.
