gpui: Add builder API for BoxShadow (#57743)

Replaces the verbose struct-literal construction of `gpui::BoxShadow`
with a builder API:

- `BoxShadow::new(offset_x, offset_y, color)` takes the required fields,
with arguments ordered to match the CSS `box-shadow` property.
- `.blur_radius(_)`, `.spread_radius(_)`, and `.inset()` set the
optional fields.

All in-tree call sites are migrated, including the Tailwind-style
`shadow_xs`..`shadow_2xl` helpers in `gpui_macros`, the `ElevationIndex`
shadows in `ui`, and various widgets across `editor`, `workspace`,
`agent_ui`, and `ai_onboarding`. The fields on `BoxShadow` remain
public, so external code using struct-literal construction continues to
work.
