Brennan Benson 70b4d12067 perf(worktree): park the git-common existence poll while the window is hidden (#10528)
startGitCommonNarrowWatch was the only watch entry point that never received
WorktreePollerWindowVisibility, so its `worktrees/` existence poll kept
stat'ing every repo without a linked worktree forever in the background
(0.5 stat/sec/repo at the 2s default). Its siblings — the primary-metadata
snapshot poller and the non-darwin git-common polling — already park.

Threads visibility through and matches the snapshot poller's park/re-arm
pattern: the poll stops on the first hidden tick, and re-checks immediately on
onWindowBecameVisible so a worktrees dir created while hidden still upgrades to
the native stream and emits its create event. The visibility listener is
dropped in the dispose path.

darwin-only: the narrow watch is the `platform === 'darwin'` branch.

// Watches a repo's `<common>/.git/worktrees` metadata plus the primary

// filter consumes.
// macOS: a narrow native stream rooted at `worktrees/` — a tiny, rare-churn
// tree — gives instant detection with zero idle cost and zero wide-scope
// fseventsd delivery; the primary files are covered by a few stat calls per
// tick (a native stream would have to span the whole common dir, objects
// included). Other platforms: dir-listing poll (no fseventsd to protect, and
// on Windows an open directory handle on `worktrees/` could interfere with
// `git worktree prune` removing it).
// The native stream is hosted in the crash-isolated watcher child, never the
// Electron main process: watcher.node teardown races heap-corrupt the hosting
// process when unsubscribe overlaps in-flight callbacks (issue #8732), and
// root deletion via `git worktree prune` makes that overlap routine here.
// Why: branch switches and commits made in the primary checkout rewrite these
// top-level files (linked-worktree equivalents live under `worktrees/`).
// Deliberately excludes FETCH_HEAD-style churn that carries no status change.
