## Message

```
Add macOS file drag-out from project panel (#58161)

## Description

Adds native macOS file drag out support for Project Panel entries. Local
file paths are resolved only when a drag gesture starts, remote or
missing paths are skipped, and unsupported platforms keep the default
no-op behavior.

The macOS implementation starts an AppKit drag session with file URL
pasteboard items, allows Finder and other external apps to choose copy
or move, keeps in-app GPUI drag/drop behavior in control for internal
drags, and clears the active drag state when the native session ends.
