Do not recommend `shallow_since` for `git_repository`

Git's `--shallow-since` feature can lead to broken checkouts and a fix isn't likely to happen:

This commit removes `shallow_since` from the canonical reproducible form of `git_repository` unless the attribute is provided explicitly. In cases where Bazel's attempt at fetching with `--depth=1` fail, e.g. if there is no server support for shallow fetches of arbitrary commits, the progress message is now used to inform the user about this potential for fetch time optimizations.

Fixes #10292
Fixes #12857

Closes #17356.
