fix(ci): check command out for error when git fails (#63993)
Closes [#1110](https://github.com/sourcegraph/devx-support/issues/1110)
Closes DINF-96

We don't print the stdErr when a command fails … in particular when git
fails. Therefore we see very little in the panic of what went wrong.

Explanation:
> There's a weird behavior that occurs where an error isn't accessible
in the err variable
// from a *Cmd executing a git command after calling CombinedOutput().
// This occurs due to how Git handles errors and how the exec package in
Go interprets the command's output.
// Git often writes error messages to stderr, but it might still exit
with a status code of 0 (indicating success).
// In this case, CombinedOutput() won't return an error, but the error
message will be in the out variable.

## Test plan

Manual testing

```go
func main() {
	ctx := context.Background()
	cmd := exec.CommandContext(ctx, "git", "rev-parse", "--is-inside-work-tree")
	out, err := handleGitCommandExec(cmd)
	if err != nil {
		// er := errors.Wrap(err, fmt.Sprintf("idsdsd: %s", string(out)))
		panic(err)
	}
	fmt.Println("hello", string(out))
}
```
