Fixes git graph showing an infinite loading state for repositories with
no commits. The bug happened because an empty `git log --all` result
completed successfully with zero commits, but the UI treated a loaded
graph with `0` commits as still loading instead of showing the empty
state.

Closes#53399
Release Notes:
- Fixed git graph loading forever for empty repositories.
Right-clicking a ref label (branch, remote ref, or tag) in the git graph
now opens a ref-specific context menu that resolves custom git commands
with the clicked ref exposed as ZED_GIT_REF, mirroring how VS Code's git
graph offers ref-aware actions. Right-clicking elsewhere on a commit
keeps the existing commit-scoped menu.

Summary:
- Added a toggleable tree view for changed files in the git graph commit
details panel
- Reused shared ListItem rows and file icon folder rendering for
changed-file entries
- Kept flat view available for status-sorted changed files
Tests:
- cargo check -p git_graph
Release Notes:
- Improved commit details changed-file lists with an optional tree view

## Why
This is the first step in moving the Git Graph work into the Git UI
crate before continuing with follow-up refactors and feature work. The
goal is for Git UI components and shared Git UI helpers to live in one
crate, so future changes to the Git Graph can reuse existing `git_ui`
code instead of duplicating it.
This PR is not only a filesystem move. While moving `git_graph` into
`git_ui`, a few small dependency and helper boundaries had to change:
- `git_graph` and `git_ui` both needed the same remote parsing and
commit tooltip construction behavior, so those pieces are now shared
from `git_ui`.
- `git_graph` previously depended on `project_panel` to resolve
file-history actions from the project panel selection. After moving
`git_graph` into `git_ui`, keeping that dependency would create an
undesirable `git_ui` -> `project_panel` relationship. The
project-panel-specific action forwarding now lives in `project_panel`,
and calls into exported `git_ui::git_graph` helpers instead.
- `git_graph` initialization now happens through `git_ui::init`, so
downstream crates only need to initialize `git_ui`.
This prepares the codebase for the next planned PRs: splitting the large
`git_graph.rs` implementation into smaller pieces, then adding Git Graph
features such as keeping the main branch lane at index `0`.
## License removal
The removed `crates/git_graph/LICENSE-GPL` file was a symlink to the
repository root `LICENSE-GPL`. The moved code is now inside `git_ui`,
which is also licensed as `GPL-3.0-or-later` and has its own
`LICENSE-GPL` symlink to the same root license file. The code did not
move to a differently licensed crate; it remains covered by the same GPL
license.
