This was already dropped in `inputFromURL()`, but not in `inputFromAttrs()`. Now it's done in `fixGitURL()`, which is used by both. In principle, `git+` shouldn't be used in the `url` attribute, since we already know that it's a Git URL. But since it currently works, we don't want to break it. Fixes #14429.
