refactor: extract buildGeheimGit helper to keep buildGeheimBackend under 30 lines

Extracts a 3-line buildGeheimGit(cfg) helper from buildGeheimBackend,
mirroring the existing buildKeepassGit pattern and satisfying the project
guideline of keeping functions under 30 lines. Also includes the full
o4 backend-abstraction changeset: Gitter interface, git.NoOp, --backend
flag parsing, keepass backend wiring, and effectiveBackend guard for
migrate-kdbx.
