Add an option to clone package repo instead of downloading a tarball #150

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.
