The gutter catches up when HEAD moves in another pane - #377

Conversation
A commit, checkout, reset or pull in another terminal pane doesn't touch the open files, so nothing told the editor to re-read HEAD and the gutter's markers stayed stale until the next save. HeadWatcher watches each open repo's git dir for HEAD and its common dir for packed-refs and refs/heads (recursively, for branches with a slash), debounced like DiskWatcher. GitRepository.Dirs resolves both from the filesystem, so a linked worktree follows its own HEAD and the shared branches. On a flush only HEAD, packed-refs and the branch HEAD names count, so `git status` rewriting the index re-reads nothing. A repo whose watch can't be set up re-reads a tab when it's shown instead.

The gutter now catches up by itself when
HEADmoves outside the editor. Commit, partially commit,reset --soft, switch branch or pull in another pane, and every open tab from that repo is marked against the newHEAD, including tabs that aren't showing. That works the same in a linked worktree. Tabs from other repos, and files outside any repo, aren't touched.Closes #371
Notes:
packed-refsre-reads, even agit pack-refsthat doesn't moveHEAD. Those are rare, and it's simpler than parsing the file to see whether the current branch moved.a-team try tuicode 377
