zed foo/ add to active window and open sidebar (#53254)
Changes the default CLI behavior when opening directories: - `zed foo/` now adds `foo/` as a new workspace in the active window's MultiWorkspace and opens the sidebar, instead of creating a new window. If `bar/` was previously open, both `foo/` and `bar/` are retained as separate workspaces in the sidebar. - `zed -n foo/` continues to open a new window without the sidebar (unchanged behavior). - `zed -a foo/` continues to add to the existing workspace (unchanged behavior). The new behavior is gated on `multi_workspace_enabled` (the `agent-v2` feature flag). Without the flag, directories open in a new window as before, avoiding a situation where the workspace gets replaced with no sidebar to switch back. The change is contained to `open_paths()` in `crates/workspace/src/workspace.rs`. When no CLI flag is specified and no existing workspace matches the paths, we now look for the active window and set `requesting_window` so that `Workspace::new_local` adds the new workspace to it rather than creating a new window.
