bootlinux: enhance A/B testing and repository management

Improve git repository handling and A/B testing capabilities:

- Add intelligent fallback logic for git ref resolution
- Handle both direct refs and tag resolution gracefully
- Improve error handling for missing or invalid refs
- Add better debugging output for git operations
- Update defconfig to enable 4K reflink testing
- Exclude linux directory from newline checking script

These changes make the bootlinux workflow more robust when dealing
with different git ref types and improve the A/B testing experience
with better error reporting and fallback mechanisms.
