The repo-switch busy query must not count view-buffer content rendering:
those tasks paint a view rather than drive a git operation, so leaving
one running across a switch is harmless (the switch's own refresh
re-renders). More importantly, they fire on nearly every focus/selection
change — including the context activation that runs right before a
menu/prompt confirmation handler (e.g. confirming worktree creation).
A synchronous busy check in such a handler would otherwise see that
render and make the very switch the handler is about to request refuse
itself.
Route ViewBufferManager's tasks through a new gocui NewBackgroundTask so
they're tracked for idle detection but excluded from the busy query. The
task "background" flag now covers two kinds of non-blocking work: the
background routines (and their refreshes) tagged earlier, and view
rendering.

Repo-switch safety needs to answer, synchronously on the UI thread,
"is any foreground work in flight right now?" so it can refuse a switch
that would run against a repo about to be swapped out. gocui already
tracks a task per OnWorker/Update for the test idle-listener; extend
that.
Tasks gain a background flag: background tasks (the ongoing routines
like auto-fetch, and the refreshes they trigger) don't count towards
busy, because their model writes are already guarded against a
concurrent switch by the repo generation. Add OnWorkerBackground,
UpdateBackground and UpdateContentOnlyBackground (plus the gui-layer
OnUIThreadBackground / OnUIThreadContentOnlyBackground / OnWorkerBackground
on IGuiCommon) so the few background call sites can opt in without
touching the hundreds of foreground callers.
TaskManager.hasBusyForegroundTaskExcept answers the query; Gui.Busy()
wraps it, excluding the event currently being processed (recorded as
currentTask) so a handler asking the question doesn't count itself.
Nothing gates on Busy() yet; this is the mechanism only.

I copied all files except dot files (.github and .gitignore), the _examples
folder, and go.mod/go.sum.
At some point we may want to copy the files back to the gocui repo when other
clients (e.g. lazydocker) want to use the newer versions of them.
