title_bar: Add "panel layout" menu to the user menu (#54771)

Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/54545

With the release of the parallel agents feature, we changed the default
panel positions optimizing for an agentic-first layout. Even though we
introduced a settings backfill _and_ the ability to revert after
interacting with the announcement toast, this change seems to be causing
a bit of frustration still. In response, this PR adds a "Panel Layout"
menu in the user menu that allows to quickly toggle between the
"Classic" layout and the "Agentic" layout. If you have a different set
up, you'll see a "custom" item there just confirming that.

Release Notes:

- Added a menu item in the user menu called "Panel Layout" which offers
the ability to quickly swap between the two standard panel layouts:
classic (project panel, git panel, etc., on the left) and agentic (agent
panel on the left, everything else on the right).
```
