```
agent: Support remote archive thread git operations (#54001)

### Summary

This PR implements remote support for git store operations that the
sidebar's archive thread checkpoint/restore featured relied on. This was
the second to last blocker for remote usage of this feature.

I also made a shared backend between `update_ref` and `delete_ref`
called `edit_ref` because they run the same git command and this allowed
for some code unification.

#### Remote Git Operations 
- `Repository::update_ref`
- `Repository::delete_ref`
- `Repository::repair_worktrees`
- `Repository::create_archive_checkpoint`
- `Repository::restore_archive_checkpoint`


#### Follow up

`agent_ui::thread_worktree_archive::find_or_create_repository` needs to
be made aware of the remote machine that the repository it's searching
for is on. Once that is completed, we can get the correct repo when
archiving a remote thread and the flow should work without any problems.
