Add agentic search mode for workspace actions using external CLI tools

- when run from workspace's action button (only from there), place below 'intelligent' option: 'agent' (desc: Run CLI non-interactively), when selected do nothing
- let's work on Agent search mode: once clicked, if in multi-root folder workspace, let user select workspace, then list available agents e.g. user has antigravity if 'agy' is in path
- remember last selected root-folder of the workspace (if many such)
- once an agent is selected, ask the user for the query, then submit. Process response similarly to `apps/editor/src/commands/select-clipboard-paths-command.ts`
- do you call agy according to [Website]?
- checbox state on agentic results should follow the actual selection in the context (those selected are selected in the quick pick, those not selected are not selected there)
- preserve agent query
- allow searching in results for agent search
- add correct 'back' flow for agent search
- in agentic search, on the input's title bar say 'Agentic Search', instead of 'Intelligent Search'
- in description, when you say sth like 'agy -p', place full command you use for greter visibility
- instead of aider we use codex, finish changes
- add support for claude code
- capitalize antigravity
- don't use descriptions (hide the command from user's sight)
- upon cancellation, should not show "No files found containing this phrase."
- as agent work, tool calls made should appear in notification [Website]
- as agent works, we want to stream more readable progress updates [Website]
- in agentic search, skip 'Searching...:' prefix. Should immediately say Running:
- select one of available agent before selecting eventual root-folder
- limit the progress tool call lines to 60 characters
