Parse https github URL with branch name with slash

[Shinyaigeek]

Ticket

Refs: pnpm/pnpm#5684

Details

To support pnpm/pnpm#5684 feature, we should take two actions.

First, we should enable hosted-git-info, which pnpm uses to parse https://github.com URL, to parse github URL with branch name with slash and github URL with pull_request.
Second, we should fix pnpm itself not to reckon github URL with branch name or github URL with pull_request as tarball URL. (https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/blob/main/resolving/tarball-resolver/src/index.ts#L33)

This Pull Request is to take the first action. Of course, we can support pnpm/pnpm#5684 without fixing hosted-git-info by arranging github URL before passing github URL into hosted-git-info in pnpm itself, but I think we should not do this because it would be more simple and better to consolidate the responsibility into git-hosted-info to parse github URL.

[Shinyaigeek]

pnpm uses hosted-git-info forked from https://github.com/npm/hosted-git-info. so we should release forked version hosted-git-info after this PR is merged.

FYI: https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/blob/main/package.json#L72

However, it may be better way to use original hosted-git-info in pnpm instead of forked version and send patch to original hosted-git-info...

we should enable hosted-git-info, which pnpm uses to parse https://github.com URL, to parse github URL with branch name

or use git-url-parse instead of hosted-git-info

but probably git-url-parse fails to parse shortcuts like github:org/project and org/project

git-url-parse can parse github shortcut refs

but no...

git-url-parse fails to parse github branch urls and github commit urls
