fix(gateway): use git HEAD SHA, not file mtimes, for stale-code check (#19740)
The stale-code self-check (Issue #17648) used sentinel-file mtimes to
decide whether the gateway survived a `hermes update` with stale
`sys.modules`. That signal false-positives on any write to the
sentinel files — including agent-driven edits during Hermes-on-Hermes
dev sessions. Telling the agent to patch `run_agent.py` would flip
the check to True on the next user message and force a gateway
restart even though no update happened.

Switch the signal to `git rev-parse HEAD`. Agent file edits don't
move HEAD; `hermes update` (git pull) always does. Reading .git/HEAD
directly (no subprocess) with a 5s cache keeps the overhead negligible
on bursty chats. Non-git installs short-circuit to False — the
stale-modules class can't occur without a git-backed update path, so
there's nothing to detect.

The legacy `_compute_repo_mtime` helper is kept but unused by
detection, reserved as a fallback hook for future pip-install update
paths.

- _read_git_head_sha(): resolves HEAD across main checkout, worktree
  (follows `gitdir:` + `commondir` pointers), and packed-refs layouts.
- _current_git_sha_cached(): per-runner 5s SHA cache.
- _detect_stale_code(): boot SHA vs current SHA, returns False when
  either is unavailable.
- Tests cover all four layouts, the agent-edits-don't-trigger
  regression, and cache behavior.
