Add git-filter-repo to packages

Will Chandler (ex-GitLab) requested to merge wc/add-git-filter-repo into main

What does this merge request do and why?

Gitaly recently added a new RPC that uses git-filter-repo to modify repository history. Add it to our list of dependencies.

On Ubuntu, the filter-repo was only introduced with 22.04, so we fall back to installing it via pip.

How to set up and validate locally

Run gdk update, validate that the git-filter-repo package is now installed on your host.
