AnmolandNeil 365482c849 fix(worktrees): finish a delete Git left half-done on macOS and Linux (#33209)
* fix(worktrees): finish a delete Git left half-done on macOS and Linux

git worktree remove drops the registration even when its recursive
delete fails partway, on every OS. The in-operation recovery that
finishes that delete was gated to win32, so on macOS and Linux the
leftover folder was recorded as failed and every retry was refused.

Run the recovery on all platforms with its existing gates (Git lock,
strict listing without the path, watchers closed first). Later retries
and the startup finish still never delete an unregistered folder.

Fixes #33023

* fix(worktrees): skip partial-delete recovery over a nested worktree

* fix(worktrees): leave orphan errors to the proven orphan cleanup

* test(worktrees): fail Orca's follow-up delete where a partial delete must stay listed

Git-deregistered partial deletes are now finished by Orca on every OS, so the
mocked IPC and runtime leftover tests make that follow-up delete fail too.

* fix(worktrees): finish a recovered partial delete like a normal one

Skip the repo-wide git worktree prune (Git already dropped the row; prune
can unregister checkouts on unmounted drives) and verify the row is gone
instead. Delete the branch with the normal -d policy rather than always
preserving it, so merged branches go and unmerged ones are kept.

* refactor(worktrees): drop the dead force arg and run the live partial-delete test on macOS

* test(worktrees): match main's signal arg and locked-file delete error in partial-delete tests

* fix(worktrees): surface the nested-worktree refusal and keep the live race test Windows-only

The recovery swallowed the nested-worktree guard into 'not recoverable', so users saw
Git's 'Directory not empty' instead of the nested-worktree message. The live churn race
flaked on macOS when Git won the race; real-Git darwin runtime tests already cover it.

* refactor(worktrees): drop the redundant post-delete registration re-check in partial-delete recovery

The predicate already proved Git dropped the row; re-listing after the rm
only turned a listing failure into a misleading stale-registration error
after the folder was gone. The force argument is now always true for the
remaining stale-registration caller.
