Merge #372: GitWorktreesTest no longer reads the operator's real git config

fleetd #369. Every git subprocess the test class starts now goes through one
gitProcessBuilder factory that applies the hermetic environment. Before this,
gitOutput set GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL/SYSTEM/TERMINAL_PROMPT but not XDG_CONFIG_HOME,
and status/fullStatus set nothing at all -- so the tests inherited the JVM's
whole real environment, including the operator's default excludes file. That
file applies with no core.excludesFile configured at all, and /dev/null for the
global config does not stop it.

Round 1 pinned this with a call-site count: exactly 2 literal
new ProcessBuilder( occurrences. That catches a NEW helper built the old way,
but it is a proxy, not the property. I measured the gap -- deleting
pb.environment().putAll(hermeticEnv()) from inside the factory left every call
site unchanged, the count stayed 2, and 1413 tests stayed green. Round 2 added
gitProcessBuilderCarriesTheFullHermeticEnvironment, which asserts on what the
factory actually hands to ProcessBuilder#start(). Both checks are kept: they
catch different regressions.

Verified on this merge, not taken from the worker's report:
  mvn clean install -> Tests run: 1414, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, BUILD SUCCESS
  poison control on the PRE-FIX file:
    XDG_CONFIG_HOME=<dir with a '*' git/ignore> mvn test -Dtest=GitWorktreesTest
    -> tests=59 failures=56, so the poison genuinely reaches these tests

Mutation run on merge, on a half neither the worker nor the reviewer touched --
made seedingGitWorktrees pass null instead of hermeticGitEnv(tmp), which strips
the hermetic environment from the PRODUCTION GitWorktrees instances rather than
from the test's own subprocesses: tests=61 failures=0 unpoisoned AND poisoned.
That half is unpinned. It is fleetd #362's protection, not this ticket's, and it
guards a different path -- the Java-side XDG read in
previouslyEffectiveExcludesFileContent, which no assertion observes. Out of
scope here; filed as a follow-up rather than held against this PR.

One javadoc sentence corrected in the merge: hermeticGitEnv claimed "no test in
this class can reach the real machine's home directory". 53 of the 58
new GitWorktrees(...) constructions in this file pass no env override at all, so
the claim is true of the 5 seeding sites and of every test-started subprocess,
not of the class.
