Allow libgit2 build to be enforced

This can be useful on machines where libgit2 is installed due to other
applications depending on it, but where the composition of this
installation does not properly work with the controller.

Reason the system version is still preferred, is because this lowers the
barrier for drive-by contributors, as a working set of (Git) dependencies
should only really be required if you are going to perform work in that
domain.
