It appears users rarely change the tab they're initially presented with. This is despite the fact that the different tabs are useful in different circumstances. If the user is cloning a repository they own or have contributed to, the GitHub/GitHub Enterprise tab makes sense. If they're cloning a public repository owned by a different user, it would be necessary to use the URL tab.

What this PR does

This PR combines the repository list and URL tabs so that a user can clone any repository without needing to understand the difference between tabs.

• Allow filtering repositories by URL or part of URL
• Allow user to clone any URL in filter box
• Match repository URLs that include a trailing / or .git
• Change filter prompt to "Search or enter a URL"
• Remove the URL tab

To do

• Ignore trailing / or .git when searching

What this PR doesn't do

• Clone a repository from a server (or user account) that is different to the one currently logged in

What if the user has already logged into a GitHub/Enterprise account, but not the one they they want to clone from? At the moment they would need to open Team Explorer - Connect and sign out/sign in to the correct account. This isn't very discoverable.

This is out of scope for this PR since it also wasn't possible with the previous implementation. Should we offer an explicit login/sign out option in another PR?

• Automatically confirm that a repository exists for the entered URL

It would be nice if we could automatically check that a repository exists when the user enters a URL. The repository could be automatically added to a section called something like Public repositories.

Alternatively, we could automatically fire off a search and supplement the repository list when the user starts entering a query. This would allow users to find public repositories they about without visiting github.com.

• Surface starred repositories

We can easily see if a repository has been starred, but we don't currently surface this information. This is likely a useful signal when scanning for a repository in a potentially long list.
