Transitioning the sync-blacklist vcs to git

[Steve Langasek]

Thanks for taking the initiative on this, it's been on my todo for quite a
while but I haven't been where I wanted to deal with the coordination of
migrating it.

I've staged a change that I can push to the bzr branch once all the
automation is moved over, to delete the contents and leave a breadcrumb to
the new branch.

Yes, please include a compat symlink. This can be created directly in the
public_html directory.
