fix(update): address review of the index.lock fix

- The automatic update's status check now sets GIT_OPTIONAL_LOCKS=0
  whichever runner it is given, not only the default one.
- Update Code no longer runs `git rebase --abort` on any rebase dir: a
  rebase in progress (detached HEAD) holds the user's conflict work and
  blocks the update; an abandoned one is dropped with `rebase --quit`,
  as the automatic update does, and a failure to clear it stops the update.
- run_git waits out the lock-freshness window after stopping a timed-out
  git, so a lock created just before the timeout is not left behind.
- Mark the Popen/subprocess use with the repo's nosec comments.
