Fix Git.version_info pickling

For gitpython-developers#1836.

This uses a property with the same logic as before for version_info
caching, except that the _version_info backing attribute holds the
value None, rather than being unset, for the uncomputed state. This
rectifies the inconistency between the property's behavior and the
way the associated states are represented by its __setstate__ and
__getstate__ methods for pickling.

Because the Git class only used LazyMixin as an implementation
detail of the version_info attribute, it is removed as a subclass.
