1201219 - Breakpad source moved to git

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1230659

Due to the code.google.com shutdown, Breakpad has moved its primary repo to a git repo:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/google-breakpad-dev/DxSTHkBwSWc/VGHqdcg2BwAJ

I believe the SVN repo will continue to operate as a readonly repo, so this won't break the Socorro build, but we should move to using the git repo to ensure that we get the latest code.

per this post we'll need to use Google's depot_tools to fetch all the external deps (that used to be svn:externals):
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/google-breakpad-dev/DxSTHkBwSWc/WmRXtklLCQAJ

The simplest way appears to be:
git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git
mkdir breakpad
cd breakpad
../depot_tools/fetch breakpad

That will put a full Breakpad checkout (including externals) in `./src`.

fetch says it supports a `--no-history` option for doing a shallow clone which might be good for our usecase.
