[JENKINS-36447] builds aborted during the git sync will corrupt the local git store

With jenkins set to abort patch sets when superceded,in some occasions when a modification on patch set is triggered and canceled a build in the git sync can corrupt the local workspace.

Repos size could indeed be a factor. Typical sync time is around 6m for this repos.

environment

```
Jenkins ver. 1.609.15.1

Gerrit Trigger 2.14.0

Gerrit Code Review 2.12.2
```

Start by reproducing a canceled build during the git sync described for Jenkins 1.609.15.1, Gerrit Trigger 2.14.0, and Gerrit Code Review 2.12.2. Trace the gerrit-trigger-plugin handling around patch-set supersession and workspace synchronization. Done means aborting a sync no longer corrupts the local git store.
