feat: add partial clone argument in vcs import

[Owen-Liuyuxuan]

Introduction

A partial clone is an efficient way to clone only part of the git history of a certain repository.

For example, we can clone big repositories with an extensive Git history using partial clones and save much time and networks.

git clone --filter=blob:none --no-checkout https://github.com/autowarefoundation/autoware.universe
git checkout $tag # This could be either a branch or a random tag in the history

At the time the PR was created, the partial clone could shrink the download size of autoware.universe from 1.5G (1.1G .git + 340M codes) to 500M (160M.git + 340M codes).

Implementation

In this PR, I incorporate the argument in the vcs import command for Git client. The codes are straight-forward, but it solve many of the problems we faced.

Why not to always filter out the rest of the history on clone or fetch? The tool basically is used for an external repository checkout into a directory of the root repository. And most of the time an external repository does not require locally the history content. So the flag better to use by default and add a yaml key to force use the full history checkout.

@andry81 From our experience, we also want to set that by default, but I believe I should respect the default behavior of the code for now.
