fix(check): expand env vars in --rev-range

The packaged commitizen-branch pre-push hook in .pre-commit-hooks.yaml
passes the literal string \..\ as
an argv element and relied on shell expansion. After #1941 switched git
execution to shell=False (CWE-78 hardening), git received the literal
string and aborted with atal: ambiguous argument, breaking every
commitizen release after v4.15.0 for users of that hook.

Expand env vars explicitly on the --rev-range argument via
os.path.expandvars so the hook keeps working without reintroducing
shell execution. Unset variables are left literal so git surfaces a
clear error instead of being silently rewritten to an empty range.

Closes #2003
