agent_ui: Add ability to add terminal output to agent context (#47637) 
Summary

This PR adds the ability to quote terminal selections into Agent
threads, similar to how editor selections can be quoted. Users can now
select text in the terminal and add it as context to their agent
conversation.

### Features

- **Context menu**: Added "Add to Agent Thread" option to the terminal's
right-click menu (only shows when text is selected)
- **Keyboard shortcut**: The existing `cmd->` / `ctrl->` shortcut now
works in the terminal
- **Collapsed display**: Terminal output appears as a collapsed
"Terminal" crease in the chat, just like code references
- **Works with both thread types**: Supports both ACP-style threads
(Claude Code) and text threads

### Implementation

- Extended `quote_selection` handler to check for terminal panel focus
after checking for editor selections
- Terminal content is formatted as ` ```terminal` code blocks via new
`insert_terminal_crease` method
- Refactored crease insertion into `insert_crease_impl` helper to
support both code snippets (with `TextSnippet` icon) and terminal output
(with `Terminal` icon)
- Added automatic detection and folding of ` ```terminal` blocks in
`set_message` so terminal content stays collapsed in sent message
history
- Terminal creases use a trailing space instead of newline so cursor
behavior matches user expectations

### Demo

1. Select text in terminal
2. Right-click → "Add to Agent Thread" (or press `cmd->`)
3. Terminal content appears as collapsed "Terminal" block in chat
4. Send message - AI receives full terminal output, but chat history
shows it collapsed

### General note

I'm new to open source and the codebase in general so let me know if
anything should be different!
I tried to stay in line with other patterns I saw.
I didn't see a way to setup an end to end test with a real terminal so I
just added a unit test for the adding of the text to the chat, if it
exists and I missed it then I think the test coverage could be improved
with a test that uses a real terminal + running the command
