```
Make adding a remote MCP server more discoverable (#59359)

# Objective

The reasoning for this is that it is currently rather hard to find the
option to add a remote MCP in the app - there is no hint that this is
supported and (without using the command palette) requires up to 5
clicks before the proper modal is shown.

The idea for this here is to make adding a remote server the default and
also make it more visibile throughout the app - the `AddContextServer`
action will now default to remote and this also adds two context menu
entries to directly open the modal with the remote option preselected.

Open for feedback - I admit this might not be the most optiomal
solution, but at least it surfaces the availablilty better and
(hopefully) makes adding these easier.

Release Notes:

- Added an entry to the agent panel options menu to quickly add a remote
MCP server
```
