lib-core.git v0.1.0: native libgit2 wrapper

Initial release. Statically vendors libgit2 v1.7.2 (HTTPS-only via
WinHTTP on Windows, no SSH dependency); exposes synchronous clone,
checkout, fetch, describe, has_ref, is_repo, tags plus an async
start_ls_remote_tags / is_done / take_result triple routed through
the engine async-pool.

The native-lib loader resolves engine services through the
sporel_engine_api struct passed to sporel_lib_init, so this lib does
not statically depend on internal engine symbols beyond the Lua C-API
re-exports.

Smoke-tested against a public Gitea repo: clone over HTTPS succeeds,
async ls-remote returns the tag list, all C-allocations clean up via
git_*_free / git_buf_dispose. First clean build of libgit2 takes
~5-15 min on a typical machine; cached afterwards.

/* sporel_git.c — lib-core.git v0.1.0
*
* Native libgit2 wrapper exposed to Lua. Synchronous + asynchronous API.
* All async operations dispatch through the engine's worker-thread pool
* via the sporel_engine_api struct passed to sporel_lib_init (Slice 4
* ADR-0046).
*
* Transport: HTTPS only (WinHTTP on Windows, OpenSSL/mbedTLS on Linux
* depending on libgit2's autodetection). No SSH support — keeps the
* static link surface small and avoids libssh2 + dependent crypto.
*
* Threading model: libgit2 is fully thread-safe AFTER git_libgit2_init.
* We init once on sporel_lib_init. The async worker that runs ls-remote
* is the only place we touch libgit2 from a non-Lua thread.
