feat(gix): query the index version natively

Use the native index version for `IndexFile.version`'s managed query. Reuse the index capability guards; actual `update-index` mutations continue to use Git.

The staged version passes Ruff and Python syntax checks. Its SHA-1/SHA-256 native smoke and focused pytest selection pass: 16 passed in 4.01s.
