Description

### Body

When running in KE, we could likely do a single shallow clone, instead of our "clone to bare repo, then clone the right version" approach we take now. This would make the worker startup process a bit cheaper.

### Committer

- [x] I acknowledge that I am a maintainer/committer of the Apache Airflow project.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the KE worker startup path and compare its current bare-repository clone followed by version clone with the proposed single shallow clone; done means the startup flow uses the cheaper approach and its behavior is validated.
