Neil 8edec28a55 fix(worktree): keep a WSL checkout case so delete cannot take the twin branch (#20273)
* fix(worktree): let a POSIX path keep its case on a Windows desktop

`canonicalWorktreePath` folded case whenever `process.platform` was win32,
without asking what the path itself was. A WSL or SSH checkout is spelled
`/home/alice/ws/feature` on a Windows desktop too, and ext4 is case-sensitive,
so `/home/alice/ws/Feature` and `/home/alice/ws/feature` — two real checkouts on
two real branches — collapsed into one row.

`removeWorktree` picks the row it is about to remove with that comparison and
reads the branch off it. Requesting `/home/alice/ws/feature` removed the right
directory (the path rides in argv) and then ran `git branch -d -- Feature`. The
same wrong row feeds `assertWorktreeUnlockedForRemoval`, so a locked twin blocks
an unlocked delete and an unlocked twin lets a locked one through.

Whose filesystem a path names is a property of the path, not of the desktop
reading it, so a POSIX-absolute path now takes POSIX rules at any platform and a
POSIX/Windows pair is never equal — `win32.resolve` would otherwise give the
POSIX path a drive root and manufacture the equality. Windows drive and UNC
paths, including WSL UNC aliases, keep folding case as before.

Two call sites already carried private copies of this rule
(`isSameCommonDirPath`, `ipc/worktree-path-comparison`); this is the same rule at
the source. The removal path is the one that never got one.

* fix(worktree): keep a WSL checkout's case through the UNC spelling too

The first commit gave POSIX-absolute paths POSIX case rules, which is right but
does not reach the WSL case it claimed. `listWorktreesStrict` runs every listed
path through `translateWorktreePath`, so git-in-the-distro's
`/home/alice/ws/Feature` arrives as `\\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\home\alice\ws\Feature`
and the POSIX branch never sees it. The removal suite mocks
`translateWslOutputPaths` to identity, which is why the end-to-end test passed
without exercising the translation production always applies.

Driving the real translator, the original defect survived unchanged: a request
naming `...\ws\feature` ran `git worktree remove --force ...\ws\feature` and then
`git branch -d -- Feature`.

The filesystem behind `\\wsl.localhost` is ext4, so the UNC spelling is
case-sensitive for the same reason the Linux spelling is — except where Windows
genuinely folds: the `\\wsl$` share alias, the distro name, and a drvfs
`/mnt/<letter>` tail, which really is a Windows volume.
`foldWslUncPathCaseInsensitiveParts` already draws exactly that line and
`git-fetch-head-lock` already depends on it, so this reuses it rather than
writing a fourth copy of the rule. Windows drive paths keep folding whole.

The end-to-end case now drives the real translator instead of the mock, so the
translation cannot go missing again without the test noticing.
