Add a new `git ai log` subcommand that proxies `git log --notes=ai`, providing a convenient way to view commit history with AI authorship notes. The command: - Passes through all standard git log options (formatting, filtering, pagination, etc.) - Correctly separates git global flags (-C, --git-dir, --no-pager, etc.) from git-log flags to ensure proper argument positioning - Handles ambiguous short flags (-p, -P, -c) by leaving them as log arguments unless the context is unambiguous (e.g., -c key.name=val) - Inherits stdin/stdout/stderr for proper pager and color support Closes git-ai-project#943

Sorry, something went wrong.
`-C` is ambiguous between git's global `-C <path>` (change directory) and `git log -C` (copy detection). Since args arrive after the `log` keyword is stripped, bare `-C` is far more likely to be copy-detection. Unconditionally extracting it as a global flag would consume the next argument as a path, breaking commands like `git ai log -C --oneline`. Now `-C` passes through to `git log` like `-p` and `-P`. Users needing the global form can use `--git-dir` or `--work-tree` instead.

- Respect `--` end-of-options separator in extract_git_global_args so pathspecs like `git ai log -- --bare` are not misclassified as global flags. - Apply the same dot-in-key heuristic to the sticky `-c<key>=<val>` form that the spaced `-c <key>=<val>` form already uses, preventing invalid config keys (e.g. `-cC=3`) from being extracted as global args. - Refactor handle_log to return ExitStatus instead of calling process::exit directly, enabling the caller to log telemetry and re-raise signals (SIGPIPE) for correct pipeline exit behavior. - Remove redundant find_repository validation that added an extra subprocess on every invocation — git log itself provides the error. - Add 22 unit tests covering all branches of extract_git_global_args.
