Subject: [PATCH 2/7] fix: clear all git config scopes before overriding
 extraheader to prevent duplicate Authorization headers
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Fixes the duplicate Authorization header issue in fork-backed create_pull_request:

Root cause: getExtraheaderValues reads from ALL git config scopes (--get-all), but
overridePersistedExtraheader wrote only to the local scope via --replace-all without
explicit scope. actions/checkout writes to the global scope, so after override both
local (fork CI token) and global (checkout token) were active simultaneously, causing
duplicate Authorization headers and HTTP 400 errors.

After restore, both global (original) and local (restored original) had the same value,
causing getExtraheaderValues to return 2 values on the next read, then 3, 4 — the
accumulation bug observed in the issue log.

Fix:
- Add unsetExtraheaderAllScopes() helper that silently clears from --global and
  --local scopes before any write operation
- overridePersistedExtraheader calls unsetExtraheaderAllScopes before writing fork
  token to --local scope, ensuring exactly one Authorization source is active
- restorePersistedExtraheader calls unsetExtraheaderAllScopes before restoring to
  --local scope, preventing accumulation across retries
- Add regression test that verifies cardinality stays at 1 across override/restore cycles

Closes #48952
