Added a new option that works like -G, but except makes a (shallow) clone/pull of a package's AUR repository instead of downloading the snapshot tarball.

This allows users to easily update a locally cloned package, without having to remove the previous copy first and doesn't keep any tarball clutter around, like with -G.

Currently using the -C flag (for clone), but that and the documentation can certainly be changed if needed.

- Add -C option (-C because clone)
- Handle -C option, git cloning the package AUR repo instead of
  downloading and extracting a tarball
