Summary Make CleanGitRepo robust against stale git lock files left by interrupted builds

The CleanGitRepo step in ews-build can get permanently stuck when a previous git process crashes or is killed, leaving behind files like .git/packed-refs.lock, .git/packed-refs.new, or .git/index.lock. Since the cleanup step doesn't remove these files before running git operations, every subsequent build fails with errors like: Unable to create '.git/packed-refs.lock': File exists. Another git process seems to be running in this repository The step already removes .git/gc.log as a stale artifact, but doesn't handle git lock/temp files. This means a single interrupted git operation can cause a worker to fail indefinitely until manual intervention.
