git_ui: Pass the clicked ref to git graph custom commands (#58781)

Right-clicking a ref label (branch, remote ref, or tag) in the git graph
now opens a ref-specific context menu that resolves custom git commands
with the clicked ref exposed as ZED_GIT_REF, mirroring how VS Code's git
graph offers ref-aware actions. Right-clicking elsewhere on a commit
keeps the existing commit-scoped menu.
