I'm not convinced this is a better approach since the zip file is downloaded on every devservices call. Sparse checkout allowed us to return early if there weren't any changes. Can you explain more on the benefits here?
I know that git clone was creating issues in CI because of a silent runner upgrade from GitHub, but also I know that we use git clone in a lot of areas so trying to understand more here.

Is this necessary? What was nice about git clone was the ability to clone through file:// so we would no longer have that to test things out locally

instead of getsentry/sentry#114194 we can just completely drop
gitin favor of downloading source archives at the cost of a few MB (snuba, relay) vs sparsely checking outdevservices/it's worth it for peace of mind and is overall much simpler (look at all the removed code!)
no config changes required; we can construct a github archive zip url from existing configuration
i also took the liberty to deduplicate a retry wrapper since it's now used in 3 places
also i tested this manually with fresh colima and it works
