Automate GitLab export

[jemrobinson]

:scroll: Description

Currently exporting GitLab repos is a manual process involving:

• accessing each repository from inside the Safe Haven
• for each branch that needs to be exported doing the following:
  • use the web interface to "download as ZIP"
  • save the zip file with an appropriate name (eg. <username>-<repo name>-<branch name>.zip
• save all of these zip files to /output

:strawberry: Desired behaviour

Even with the constraints that GitLab can only be accessed from inside the Safe Haven, it would be nice if the above could be scripted - either on the DSVM or on the GitLab VM.

:page_facing_up: Tasks

• [ ] Decide on the best way to script this
• [ ] Do it

Is this something we want to do in Powershell? If not, does the issue also apply to Gitea in Pulumi?

Removed this from the 4.2.0 milestone - won't implement in the Powershell version.
