## Message

```
git_ui: Keep view options menu state fresh (#59744)

# Objective

- Keep the Git panel view options menu open when changing view, sort, or
group options.
- Make the open menu reflect the selected option immediately, including
showing the Sort By section as soon as List view is selected.

## Solution

- Use a persistent context menu for the Git panel view options menu so
selecting an item rebuilds the menu instead of dismissing it.
- Track the open menu's view options state locally with
`GitPanelViewOptionsMenuState` so checkmarks and conditional sections
update before the settings file change is observed.
- Continue dispatching the existing Git panel actions so persisted
settings and panel updates keep using the current code path.
