Generate stringer files automatically (#841) (#867)

Added `stringer` annotations to `git.go` for `ErrorClass` and
`ErrorCode`. Added `generate` rule for `Makefile` to generate
string representations for these types (first building cgo files
in `_obj` dir to get C constants). Finally, updated `ci` actions
workflow to check that generated files are up to date.

Fixes: #543
(cherry picked from commit 5e35338d58)
