profiles: mask =dev-vcs/git-2.35.2

2.35.2 was a quick release to mitigate a security issue (bug #838127), but
introduces problems of its own with e.g. Portage. bug #838223. Pending
investigation both on the Portage side and potentially upstream (as there's
at least some UX issues with 2.35.2+ with the new "safe directory" mechanism).

Earlier versions are still safe as long as you do not use git commands
on a local repository controlled by a user you do not trust.
