prepare-workspace-git: Add ability to define synced pojects

The prepare_workspace_sync_required_projects_only variable allows
users to define which projects to sync to the node. This can prevent
syncing of unnecessary repositories. For some builds e.g. the
depends-on repositories dont need to be synced. The projects are
filtered based on the 'required' flag present in each zuul.project
entry and the required projects list also does not contain projects
which are present due to Depends-On or gate queue sequencing.
Having unnecessary repos in the workspace can for example also break
the analysis phase of bazel.
