Pull Request Overview

This PR refactors Git credential management to persist credentials in a separate config file instead of directly in the repository's .git/config. The change improves security by isolating credentials from the main Git configuration and uses Git's includeIf mechanism to conditionally include the credentials when needed.

Key changes:

Moves credential storage from .git/config to a separate file in RUNNER_TEMP
Uses Git's includeIf.gitdir feature to conditionally include credentials based on Git directory path
Updates both main repository and submodule authentication to use the new approach

This adds `persist-credientials: false` to all uses of `actions/checkout`, as was done in GitoxideLabs/gitoxide#2187. This doesn't add a hard check to fail CI if this isn't present. But Zizmor does catch its absence, which might be sufficient in view of the lower (but not zero) attack surface for persisted credentials here compared to `gitoxide` in the event of unintended coupling between the test suite here and CI clone of the repository itself. Another factor that reduces the risk across the board (though not necessarily by enough that we should rely solely on it and Zizmor for this in the `gitoxide` repository) is that `actions/checkout` keeps its credentials in a separate file, rather than in `.git/config`, since `v6`. For details on that, see: - https://github.com/actions/checkout/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#v600 - actions/checkout#2286
