fix(windows): share one bounded, tree-killing git probe across both call sites (#68997)
subprocess.run(["git", ...], timeout=...) deadlocks on Windows: run()'s
post-timeout cleanup calls an unbounded communicate() after killing git.
Killing the PATH-resolved launcher can leave a suspended descendant git.exe
holding duplicates of the captured stdout/stderr handles, so the pipes never
reach EOF and the reader-thread join blocks forever — leaking a process +
two reader threads per fired timeout (the accumulating git.exe load behind
Windows Defender CPU spikes).

Two fail-open probe call sites had this identical flaw:
  - tui_gateway/git_probe.py::run_git — on the Desktop agent-build path
    (_start_agent_build -> _session_info -> branch() -> run_git), where the
    hang turned an optional branch label into "agent initialization timed
    out" (#68609).
  - agent/coding_context.py::_git — hangs the agent turn inside
    build_coding_workspace_block under an ACP host (#66037).

Consolidate both onto one shared bounded_git_probe() in
hermes_cli/_subprocess_compat.py (both files already import from there, so
no new import surface):
  - explicit communicate(timeout), then on ANY failure a tree-kill —
    proc.kill() AND, on Windows, best-effort taskkill /T /F so the suspended
    descendant that holds the pipe writers dies too — plus a bounded 1s
    post-kill drain; if the pipes are still held they're abandoned (the
    orphaned reader threads are daemonic and cost nothing).
  - fail open to "" on every path: spawn error, timeout, kill() raising
    (access denied / already reaped — a raise inside the except handler
    previously escaped the contract), and non-timeout communicate() failures
    now also terminate the child instead of leaving it running.
  - the taskkill spawn can't re-enter the deadlock class: it captures no
    pipes (DEVNULL), so its own timeout cleanup has no reader threads to join.

Normal-path spawn contract is preserved byte-for-byte: PIPE/PIPE/DEVNULL,
text + utf-8 errors="replace", hidden-window creationflags on Windows only,
nonzero returncode -> "". Each call site keeps its own timeout (1.5s / 2.5s).

Supersedes #68622 (Sora-bluesky — git_probe fix + tree-kill) and #66038
(iamwongeeeee — coding_context fix), folding both into one shared helper so
the two sites can't drift and every timeout tree-kills the descendant. Tests
consolidated onto the helper, incl. the previously-missing assertion that a
Windows timeout escalates to taskkill /T /F.
