git_ui: Open file diffs from git panel (#56152)

Addresses https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/discussions/33773.

This changes git panel file activation so double-clicking or
secondary-opening a changed file opens a dedicated full-file diff tab
backed by a `SplittableEditor`.

The per-file diff reuses the project diff staging and restore controls,
respects the configured diff view style, and focuses an existing
per-file diff tab when one is already open instead of creating
duplicates.

Verified with `cargo run`.

Release Notes:

- Improved git panel file diff opening.
