Allow opening a new window by default (#58805)

Adds `default_open_behavior` which let's users control which action
should be the default (add to existing window/open a new window)

TODO:
- [x] Use sensible icon (not `IconName::Screen`) when
`default_open_behavior` is set to `new_window`
- [x] Tweak wording for actions in recent projects menu
