Consider making `nano-modeline-git-info` VC-backend-agnostic #66

Right now, the nano-modeline-git-info function tries to truncate Git- from vc-mode. However, this interacts oddly with other VC backends, which are not necessarily three letters long

Hence the name nano-modeline-git-info and not nano-modeline-vc-info... Just kidding. Do you want to make a PR? Else, I can try to do it but not before a few days.
