project panel: Add git clone action to empty state (#36371)

This PR adds the git clone action to the project panel. It also changes
the "open" button to open a folder instead of the recent projects modal,
which feels faster to start with, more intuitive, and also consistent
with VS Code (which I think is good in this specific case).

Release Notes:

- Improved the project panel empty state by including the git clone
action and allowing users to quickly open a local folder.
```
