briandevans a6485bddb8 fix(desktop): don't report a bogus update count for a shallow checkout
The desktop installer clones with `--depth 1`, so a public install's local
history often shares no merge-base with the freshly fetched origin tip. In
that state `git rev-list HEAD..origin/<branch> --count` enumerates the
entire remote ancestry and returns a meaningless huge number, surfacing as
e.g. "v0.17.0 (+12104)" in the update indicator (#51922).

The official-SSH branch of checkUpdates() already sidesteps this by reporting
a binary up-to-date check (`behind: currentSha === targetSha ? 0 : 1`), and
hermes_cli/banner.py guards the identical class for the CLI banner. The
passive desktop count path was the one place the shallow guard was missing.

Detect shallow + no-merge-base up front and fall back to the same SHA-based
binary check; full clones (developers / Docker dev images) keep the exact
count path unchanged. The resolution logic lives in a pure update-count.cjs
helper so it is unit-testable without booting Electron.
