git: Add diff view for stash entries (#38280)

Continues the work from #35927 to add a git diff view for stash entries.

Stash entries are [represented as
commits](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-stash#_discussion) except they
have up to 3 parents:

```
       .----W (this is the stash entry)
      /    /|
-----H----I |
           \|
            U
```

Where `H` is the `HEAD` commit, `I` is a commit that records the state
of the index, and `U` is another commit that records untracked files
(when using `git stash -u`).

Given this, I modified the existing commit view struct to allow loading
stash and commits entries with git sha identifier so that we can get a
similar git diff view for both of them.

The stash diff is generated by comparing the stash commit with its
parent (`<commit>^` or `H` in the diagram) which generates the same diff
as doing `git stash show -p <stash entry>`. This *can* be
counter-intuitive since a user may expect the comparison to be made
between the stash commit and the current commit (`HEAD`), but given that
the default behavior in git cli is to compare with the stash parent, I
went for that approach.

Hoping to get some feedback from a Zed team member to see if they agree
with this approach.

Release Notes:

- Add git diff view for stash entries
- Add toolbar on git diff view for stash entries
- Prompt before executing a destructive stash action on diff view
- Fix commit view for merge commits  (see #38289)
