```
git_ui: Strip ANSI escape codes from git command output (#53444)

When git commands (push, pull, hooks...) produce output containing ANSI
escape sequences for colors or formatting, Zed was displaying them as
raw escape codes in the output buffer, making the output hard to read.
This simply escapes ANSI from the git output
