Refactor commit module to seperate folders

[Caleb-T-Owens]

As I’m about to work on dry-runs, I really wanted to split this up because there was just too much going on in this one file

Pull request overview

Refactors the but-api commit APIs by splitting the former monolithic crates/but-api/src/commit.rs into a dedicated commit/ module with per-endpoint files and shared types, while updating legacy callers to use the new RelativeTo location/type.

Changes:

• Replaced crates/but-api/src/commit.rs with a crates/but-api/src/commit/ module layout (amend, create, insert_blank, move_changes, move_commit, reword, types, json).
• Moved commit result structs into commit/types.rs and added JSON transport structs/enums into commit/json.rs.
• Updated a couple of legacy call sites to reference commit::json::RelativeTo instead of the previous commit::ui::RelativeTo.

Pull request overview

Refactors the Rust but_api::commit surface from a single large module into a structured set of submodules (create/amend/reword/move/etc.), and updates all in-repo call sites (Tauri app, server router, and but CLI) to use the new paths while keeping existing HTTP/Tauri command endpoints working.

Changes:

• Split crates/but-api/src/commit.rs into crates/but-api/src/commit/* modules and introduced shared result/JSON transport types.
• Updated but CLI commands and legacy flows to use the new but_api::commit::{...} module layout (including RelativeTo moving under commit::json).
• Updated Tauri invoke_handler registrations and but-server routes to reference the new module paths.
