Revert of Convert cpplint.py to work with nested git repositories. (patchset #1 id:1 of https://codereview.chromium.org/1897153003/ )

Reason for revert:
This breaks WebRTC presubmit on the buildbots (due to /b/build being a Git repo, which in turn contains the checkout). See  https://bugs.chromium.org/p/webrtc/issues/detail?id=5818 for more details.

It seems it also broke other projects (rakuco's comment #15).



Original issue's description:
> Convert cpplint.py to work with nested git repositories.
> 
> Chrome on iOS downstream repository tracks Chromium via DEPS and wants
> to use cpplint canned presubmit check but the cpplint.py errors due at
> the include guard as it stops at the inner most git repository.
> 
> Change cpplint.py to look for the outermost git repository when looking
> for the repository root.
> 
> BUG=598090
