Rewrite local git detection using git command

[dlackty]

We recently encountered a error when we tried to run node-coveralls on a Git tagged revision without a branch. I know it sounds a bit of weird to do that, but it's the default behavior of Phabricator's Diffusion code review tool.

When debugging this issue, I found that we can get required information just using git command, so I rewrote the function and it works on our CircleCI setup.

This is error log:

fs.js:549
  return binding.open(pathModule._makeLong(path), stringToFlags(flags), mode);
                                                  ^

Hi @dlackty thank you for your patience on this one. It seems the changes are causing build failures, could you take a look at those?

@nickmerwin after git gc it puts that file to .git/packed-refs

So I vote for this pull request

The idea is good; it's better to rely on git itself than custom code.

My thoughts:

1. we need to make sure everything works properly on all OS'es
2. this might result in a slowness since we'll be spawning 2 git processes synchronously

Since this library doesn't seem to be supported anymore I fix a bunch of things on a fork if you want to check it out and are still pulling the library into your packages: https://github.com/jtwebman/coveralls-next I am very open to changes like these.
