Move commit querying from Octokit to GraphQL

[Copilot]

Migration Plan: Move Commit Querying to GraphQL

• Add GraphQL record types for commit queries in GitHubGraphQLTypes.cs
• Create GetCommitsAsync method in GitHubGraphQLClient with pagination support
• Update GitHubRepoConnector to use GraphQL client instead of Octokit
• Add unit tests for the new GraphQL commit querying method
• Verify existing tests still pass
• Run code review and address feedback
• Run security checks with CodeQL
• Fix spell check errors

Summary

Successfully migrated commit querying from Octokit to GitHub's GraphQL API. This is another step toward retiring Octokit dependency.

Key Changes:

• Added 6 new GraphQL record types to support commit history queries
• Implemented GetCommitsAsync method with cursor-based pagination
• Created internal Commit record to replace Octokit's GitHubCommit
• Added automatic conversion of branch names to fully qualified refs
• Added 8 comprehensive unit tests covering all edge cases
• All 22 existing GitHubRepoConnector tests pass
• No security vulnerabilities detected by CodeQL
• All linting checks pass

<issue_title>[Feature]: Move Commit Querying to GraphQL</issue_title>
<issue_description>### Problem Statement

The GitHubRepoConnector should switch getting repo branch commits from Octokit to the GitHubGraphQLClient.

Proposed Solution

Moving towards retiring Octokit, the GitHubRepoConnector should replace its GetAllCommitsAsync with an equivalent new method in GitHubGraphQLClient that queries for commits on the repo using GraphQL.

Just like the GitHubGraphQLClient FindIssueIdsLinkedToPullRequestAsync method, this new method should handle paging.

The new GraphQL records should be added to the GitHubGraphQLTypes.cs file.

Fixed in commit 7bccfc5. Changed "singlecommit123" to "abc123def456" to avoid the spell check error.
