Shows a confirmation dialog offering to retry with --ignore-immutable whenever a jj command fails because the target commit is immutable, instead of requiring a per-action force keybinding (previously only edit had one).

Hey thanks
What do you mean here? We have alt+enter which adss this flag automatically. |

I think my alt+enter has been bound to a shortcut to open a terminal split and I missed this... This PR offers a different way, I guess they could coexist but I understand if that seems unnecessary. |

Right now only edit has a way to retry against an immutable commit (the alt+e force-edit binding). Everything else (split, describe, squash, rebase, ...) just fails with no way to recover short of leaving the TUI.
This adds a generic fix: when any jj command fails with jj's "commit is immutable" error, jjui pops up a confirmation dialog offering to retry the same command with --ignore-immutable.
