fix(termux): resolve packed-refs and worktree refs in skill-sync fingerprint

The bundled-skill sync stamp added in the cherry-picked salvage commit
parsed .git/HEAD and looked for a loose ref file in the worktree gitdir
only, so two real cases hit the unresolved branch:

- repos after `git gc` where active refs live in packed-refs
- linked worktrees, whose branch ref lives in <commondir>/refs/heads/
  (verified on the worktree this salvage was built in)

Both fell back to a constant-string fingerprint, so post-commit launches
would never re-run the real skill sync. Now we resolve packed-refs and
check both the worktree gitdir and the common dir for loose refs.

Adds three tests covering: packed-refs resolution, worktree common-dir
packed lookup, worktree common-dir loose lookup, and the explicit
'unresolved' marker (still stable + version-fallback-safe).
