git_ui: Replace commit message generation spinner with a cancel button (#49540)

When a model produces poor output during commit message generation,
there was no way to cancel it. This replaces the non-interactive spinner
with a Stop button that cancels the generation task. Partial generated
text is kept in the editor.

Partially addresses #33556
