test(docker-update): stub subprocess.run in git-install regression guard

The regression-guard test
`test_cmd_update_on_git_install_does_not_print_docker_message` mocked
`is_managed` and `detect_install_method` but not `subprocess.run`, so
once `cmd_update(check=True)` decided this was a git install it shelled
out to a real `git fetch upstream` / `git fetch origin`. On CI runners
the worktree has no `upstream` remote configured and the fetch hung
past the 30s pytest-timeout — test (4) slice failed in #33659 CI.

Fix: stub `subprocess.run` with a successful CompletedProcess-shaped
object whose stdout is `"0\n"`, so:
  - no real git command is ever invoked
  - the rev-list parsing later in the flow (`int(stdout.strip())`)
    succeeds rather than `ValueError`-ing through the test's
    SystemExit catch
  - the flow proceeds far enough to confirm the docker banner is
    absent (the actual assertion)

Also broaden the except clause to `(SystemExit, Exception)`: the only
assertion in this test is the negative-banner check on captured stdout;
any further failure in the rest of the update flow is irrelevant to
that contract.

Verified locally: all 7 tests in
`tests/hermes_cli/test_cmd_update_docker.py` pass in 0.39s (previously
the regression-guard test alone consumed 30s+ and got SIGTERM'd).

``subprocess.run`` is mocked because the git path will otherwise shell
out to ``git fetch upstream`` / ``git fetch origin`` on CI runners
with no ``upstream`` remote configured this can hang past the 30s
pytest-timeout depending on git's network behaviour. The stub
returns a successful CompletedProcess-shaped object with ``"0\\n"``
stdout, which both keeps the flow shell-free AND parses cleanly as
the "0 commits behind" rev-list output the check path later parses
via ``int(rev_result.stdout.strip())``.
