```
agent: Allow to see the whole command before running it (#38747)

Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/38528

In the agent panel's `thread_view.rs` file, we have a `render_tool_call`
function that controls what we show in the UI for most types of tools.
However, for some of them—for example, terminal/execute and edit
tools—we have a special rendering so we can tailor the UI for their
specific needs. But... before the specific rendering function is called,
all tools still go through the `render_tool_call`.

Problem is that, in the case of the terminal tool, you couldn't see the
full command the agent wants to run when the tool is still in its
`render_tool_call` state. That's mostly because of the treatment we give
to labels while in that state. A particularly bad scenario because
well... seeing the _full_ command _before_ you choose to accept or
reject is rather important.

This PR fixes that by essentially special-casing the terminal tool
display when in the `render_tool_call` rendering state, so to speak.
There's still a slight UI misalignment I want to fix but it shouldn't
block this fix to go out.

Here's our final result:

/>

Release Notes:

- agent: Fixed terminal command not being fully displayed while in the
"waiting for confirmation" state.
```
