Context: `fetchdep.sh` attempts to check out a github repository based on the
details in a pull request. To do this, it needs to know how to find the pull
request. So, the github workflows attempt to set environment variables to tell
it. Unfortunately, they currently disagree about what the names of the
environment variables should be.
This appears to have been introduced by #8498.
To simplify matters, we may as well have the script use `${GITHUB_REPOSITORY}`
directly, and remove te unused `REPOSITORY` env var from the workflows.
* Fix documentation to make `yarn test` work out of the box
Before, invoking `yarn test` croaked on a missing src/component-index.js
file. In another part of the README, the missing instruction to generate
this file was found.
* Fix CI: Unauthenticated git protocol on port 9418 is no longer supported
GitHub is deprecating the service which answered unauthenticated git
protocol requests. Either it happened already, or they are running
brownouts.
* This is where I meant to leave that comment

If you try to clone a repo that doesn't exist via `https`, `git` will prompt for
auth credentials and hang forever. Using `git` avoids this and fails immediately
instead, which is what we want for a missing repo.

Currently, people with push access to the main Riot repos can push matching
branch names to Riot and the SDKs, and CI will test all the branches together.
This change allows contributors to access the same ability when submitting
several matching PRs from their fork of each repo.
