Add providing location for fetch_via_{vcs,git}

This allows to call fetch_via_{vcs,git} multiple times for a location to
have another revision.

Example:
fetch_via_git("git+https://github.com/nexB/fetchcode.git", location="/tmp/repo")
will checkout tip of default branch
fetch_via_git("git+https://github.com/nexB/fetchcode.git@ccb7b6199681910ccf047f1a18aa89ece45d665c",
     location="/home/amazuruk/dupa/master")
will reset to ccb7b61

Additionally remove some trailing whitespaces and fix indentation of a
docstring.
