Introduce retry logic with exponential backoff for git operations to reduce flaky
CI/Docker failures (e.g., "Connection reset by peer"). Replace run(check=True)
with run_checked() and add transient error detection. Update unit tests to match
new execution and error-handling behavior.

- Add new role sys-util-git-pull as a generic system utility
- Implement robust shallow clone/update logic in Python helper
- Support detached-safe branch updates and optional tag pinning
- Handle annotated vs lightweight tags and heal local tag conflicts
- Provide deterministic Ansible change detection via machine-readable output
- Add verbose logging to stderr for debuggability
- Integrate sys-util-git-pull into pkgmgr role to replace inline git logic
- Add comprehensive unit tests (option A: file-based import) for helper script
- Add role README and meta information with platform-agnostic support
- Ensure role conforms to existing test expectations (meta/main.yml present)
