fixes #456

The Dependabot CLI accepts arguments to make it easy to try out on your repo, but it didn't work for hosts other than github.com. You would have to use an input file for that.

This adds support for different hosts by accepting a URL (or SSH style URL) like so

$ dependabot update go_modules git@example.com:dependabot/cli.git
$ dependabot update go_modules https://example.com/dependabot/cli.git

Additionally if you have $LOCAL_GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN set, it will automatically inject that credential into the input.

This is equivalent to:

    job:
        package-manager: go_modules
        allowed-updates:
            - update-type: all
        source:
            provider: github
            repo: dependabot/cli
            hostname: example.com
            api-endpoint: https://example.com/api/v3
    credentials:
        - host: example.com
          password: $LOCAL_GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN
          type: git_source
          username: x-access-token
