```
Simplify sidebar active state (#52799)

This changes the terminology from "focused entry" to "active entry", and
adds 4 properties that rebuild_contents should maintain for the active
entry:

- We should always have an active_entry after rebuild_contents
- The active entry's workspace should always be == to the active
multiworkspace
- If there's a thread, the active entry should always reflect that
thread
- There should always be exactly 1 active entry
