Stefan Haller 080542c9fb Capture the commits refresh's inputs on the UI thread
A commits refresh does its git work on a worker and then reads the model,
the contexts, and the modes for that work directly from there:
LocalCommits.GetSelectionRangeAndMode/GetLimitCommits/GetShowWholeGitGraph,
Model.Commits/MainBranches/HashPool, the filtering path/author. Those are
owned by the UI thread, which is concurrently running the cursor and render
code, so the reads race it — the dominant, confirmed source of the
commits-scope flakes (the startup ClampSelection vs GetSelectionRangeAndMode
race, for one).

Gather them into an immutable capturedCommitState on the UI thread, before
the git work is dispatched, and have refreshCommitsWithLimit compute from
that snapshot. UI-thread callers capture inline; worker callers can't (a
SYNC/BLOCK_UI refresh parks the UI thread at wg.Wait, so hopping from a
scope sub-worker would deadlock), so the capture is lifted out of the scope
worker into the refresh orchestration, and worker callers announce
themselves with a new RefreshFromWorker entry point that hops the capture to
the UI thread and blocks for it (OnUIThreadAndWait). BLOCK_UI runs the whole
refresh on the UI thread regardless of the caller, so it captures inline
too.

Every refresh issued from a worker that reaches the commits (or branches,
which pulls in commits) scope is converted: the fast-forward, branch/tag
delete, worktree remove/detach, push, reword-via-rebase, author edits,
custom-command, hard-reset-with-autostash, reset-to-ref, fetch-and-checkout,
gpg-stream, post-fetch, and external-change-poller refreshes, plus the
branch checkout and move-commits-to-new-branch refreshes.
