Support private git servers (like Github Enterprise instances)

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to run scorecard for a repository that is hosted on my Github Enterprise instance. I currently can't.

$ scorecard --repo github.corp.net/nv35/myrepo
2021/07/05 09:24:35 unsupported host: github.corp.net

Describe the solution you'd like
Allow to use the others github instances just like the .com one. The API path would likely just change from https://api.github.com/ to https://github.corp.net/api/v3, and I guess the calls would just be the same.

Additional context
The restriction to github.com is defined here:

scorecard/repos/repo_url.go

Line 77 in 1f1e05b

return fmt.Errorf("%w: %s", ErrorUnsupportedHost, r.Host)

Thanks for this feedback! This is a great usecase for #462. We are still in the process of factoring out all github.com dependencies into RepoClient. Once we have this refactoring in place, it should be easy to use enterprise APIs instead of the regular one.
