Stefan Haller ae095f276b Don't refuse a repo switch during a pure refresh
The refreshes on focus-in, right after a repo switch, and after
returning from a subprocess are full foreground refreshes, so their
tasks kept Busy() true for as long as the slowest scope took — and any
switch attempt in that window was refused with the "can't switch"
toast. The focus-in one is particularly annoying: focusing lazygit is
often precisely what the user does in order to switch repos, and right
after regaining focus is when a refresh takes longest.

Blocking the switch bought nothing there. The refusal exists for user
operations, whose follow-up work (e.g. a Then callback reading the
model) isn't covered by the switch-safety guards; but these refreshes
merely reload state, and a refresh by itself is now switch-safe: its
git commands run against the repo it was started for, and the
generation guard drops its updates when the repo changed.

We can't just mark them Background, because that flag also decides
whether the files refresh lets git take optional locks to persist its
refreshed stat cache — worth doing for an attended refresh, and the
focus-in refresh (typically running right after external changes) is
the case that profits most. So split the two meanings: a new
DontBlockRepoSwitch option dispatches the refresh's tasks as background
tasks (excluded from Busy()) while keeping the attended optional-locks
behavior. Combining it with Then panics, since Then is not
generation-guarded.
