feat(gix): read reference logs natively

Implement reflog existence and GitPython's exact NUL-delimited read format with native log iteration. Preserve newest-first ordering, identity and raw timestamps while filtering unavailable/non-commit targets as Git does. Orphan log lookup, other formats and log writing remain with Git.

The staged version passes Ruff and Python syntax checks. Its SHA-1/SHA-256 native smoke and focused pytest selection pass: 42 passed in 9.86s.
