jif-oai e0fbc112c7 feat: git tooling for undo (#3914)
## Summary
Introduces a “ghost commit” workflow that snapshots the tree without
touching refs.
1. git commit-tree writes an unreferenced commit object from the current
index, optionally pointing to the current HEAD as its parent.
2. We then stash that commit id and use git restore --source <ghost> to
roll the worktree (and index) back to the recorded snapshot later on.

## Details
- Ghost commits live only as loose objects—we never update branches or
tags—so the repo history stays untouched while still giving us a full
tree snapshot.
- Force-included paths let us stage otherwise ignored files before
capturing the tree.
- Restoration rehydrates both tracked and force-included files while
leaving untracked/ignored files alone.

# codex-git-tooling
Helpers for interacting with git.
```rust,no_run
use std::path::Path;
use codex_git_tooling::{create_ghost_commit, restore_ghost_commit, CreateGhostCommitOptions};
let repo = Path::new("/path/to/repo");
// Capture the current working tree as an unreferenced commit.
let ghost = create_ghost_commit(&CreateGhostCommitOptions::new(repo))?;
// Later, undo back to that state.
restore_ghost_commit(repo, &ghost)?;
```
Pass a custom message with `.message("…")` or force-include ignored files with
`.force_include(["ignored.log".into()])`.
