fix: canonicalize path case on macOS for git worktree operations (GH#880)

bd sync fails with exit status 128 when the daemon is started from a
terminal with different path casing than what git has stored. This
happens on macOS case-insensitive filesystem when directory names
are renamed (e.g., MyProject to myproject) but terminal sessions
retain the old casing.

The fix uses realpath(1) on macOS to get the true filesystem case
when canonicalizing paths:
- CanonicalizePath() now calls realpath on macOS
- git.GetRepoRoot() canonicalizes repoRoot via canonicalizeCase()
- syncbranch.GetRepoRoot() uses utils.CanonicalizePath()

This ensures git worktree paths match exactly, preventing the
exit status 128 errors from git operations.
