Description of contribution in a few bullet points

• Expose testing of git, tar, and zip clients to be compatible with any external repo list file.

• Added helper functions for these clients to create repositories/archives by locally cloning the repository, and checking them out to their target hashes before archiving.

• Add the original list_repos.yaml back into testing, and modified the expected output to match the interaction with this file instead.

• Use a remote clone as the codecov workflow sparsely checks out the branch under a single commit.

Description of how this change was tested

• Performed linting validation using pre-commit run --all
• Verified that the code passes all tests using python3 -m pytest -s -v test

Pull Request Overview

This PR modifies the test infrastructure to support testing git, tar, and zip clients using external repository files. Instead of creating synthetic test repositories and archives, the tests now use the original list_repos.yaml file which references the actual vcs2l repository on GitHub, with archives and repositories created by cloning and checking out specific commits.

Key changes:

• Replaced synthetic test data generation with dynamic repository/archive creation based on external repos file
• Added helper functions to create git repositories and tar/zip archives by cloning and checking out target commits
• Updated all expected test outputs to reflect actual commit hashes and repository metadata from the external repository
