ci, build/f_repos: Minor UX improvements

After Armband rework landed of top of `build/f_repos` mechanism [1],
the following minor UX improvements can also be applied to Fuel's
f_repos:
- set SHELL to "/bin/sh" (we don't use any bash-isms);
- improve "From SHA..." removal for exported patches;
- force checkout of root tag commit during clean;
- silence progress during git clone (cleaner logs);
- support git older than 1.8.4 in `make clean` (fix Armband deploy);

FIXME:
 Pass TERM as Docker env var until [2] is fixed in Docker 1.13.

v4 -> v5:
 * Moved `export TERM` to Releng, where it actually belongs [3];
 * Fixed Armband deploys fail [4] by adjusting `make clean`;

+2. Working with remote tracking for upgrading Fuel components
+   Enable remote tracking as described above, which at `make sub` will update
+   ALL submodules (fuel-main, fuel-library, ...) to remote branch (set in
+   .gitmodules) HEAD.
+
+   * If upstream has NOT already tagged a new version, we can still work on
+     our patches, make sure they apply etc., then check for new upstream
+     changes (and that our patches still apply on top of them) by:
+
+   $ make deepclean patches-import
+
+   * If upstream has already tagged a new version we want to pick up, checkout
+     the new tag in each submodule:
+
+   $ git submodule foreach 'git checkout <newtag>'
+
+   * Once satisfied with the patch and submodule changes, commit them:
+     - enforce FUEL_TRACK_REMOTES to "yes" if you want to constatly use the
+       latest remote branch HEAD (as soon as upstream pushes a change on that
+       branch, our next build will automatically include it - risk of our
+       patches colliding with new upstream changes);
+     - stage patch changes if any;
+     - if submodule tags have been updated (relevant when remote tracking is
+       disabled, i.e. we have a stable upstream baseline), add submodules:
+
+   $ make deepclean sub && git add -f sub/*
