Harden secret-file creation, token comparison and git refname args

Works off the security audit in docs/prs/2026-07-08-PR#000: TODO 1, 8, 9
and 10, the four items that need no design decision.

New `SecretFiles` creates files holding secrets with mode 0600 and their
directories with 0700 *at creation*, as a file attribute, instead of
writing at the umask default and chmod-ing afterwards — that left a
window in which the Gitea token was world-readable, which matters on a
multi-tenant host. It is used by `init` for .git/gittally/.gittally.yml
and by `ControlTokenService` for the control token; the shell setup
script now writes its YAML in a `umask 077` subshell for the same reason.

`ControlTokenService.matches` hashes both sides with SHA-256 before
`MessageDigest.isEqual`, so the comparison always runs over two 32-byte
buffers and cannot return early on a length mismatch.

`GitService.checkout` and `fetchBranch` pass `--` before the refname, so
a branch named like an option cannot be read as one. `resetHardToOrigin`
keeps its plain form: `git reset --hard -- <commit>` is rejected outright
and its argument is already `origin/`-prefixed.
