builtin/mv: bail out when trying to move child and its parent
We have a known issue in git-mv(1) where moving both a child and any of
its parents causes an assert to trigger because the child cannot be
found anymore in the index. We have added a test for this in commit
0fcd473fdd3 (t7001: add failure test which triggers assertion,
2024-10-22) without addressing the issue, which is why the test itself
is marked as `test_expect_failure`.
The behaviour of that test relies on a call to assert(3p) though, which
may or may not be compiled into the resulting binary depending on
whether or not we pass `-DNDEBUG`. When these asserts are compiled into
Git this may cause our CI to hang on Windows though, because asserts may
cause a modal window to be shown.
While we could work around the issue by converting this into a call to
`BUG()`, let's rather address the root cause of the issue by bailing out
in case we see that both a child and any of its parents are being moved
in the same command.
