fix(browse): skip the .gitignore append when git already ignores .gstack/

ensureStateDir appended ".gstack/" to a tracked .gitignore even when git
already ignored the directory via global excludes, .git/info/exclude, or a
parent .gitignore — dirtying the working tree on every daemon start. Run
`git check-ignore -q -- .gstack/` first and return early when git says it's
covered; git-missing/not-a-repo/timeout all fall through to the existing
text-check append (the safe default).

Closes #2385.
