workspace: Add ToggleEditorZoom action to maximize active pane (#53911)

VS Code has a command called "Toggle Maximize Editor Group" (`Cmd+K
Cmd+M`) that expands the active editor pane to fill the entire center
area, hiding editor split panes, but leaving docks and panels visible.
Zed's existing `ToggleZoom` hides all panels and is closer to VS Code's
Zen Mode. VS Code has both — it would be useful for Zed to as well.

This is particularly useful for people working on laptops, and has been
raised before (#32715, #4897, #32860), but the addition of the project
panel alongside the agent panel has made it more relevant. I work with
the editor split vertically, but with the project and agent panels both
visible, on a laptop screen there's really only room for a single editor
pane. This command makes it easy to switch to and from that mode.

**Behavior:**
- New action: `workspace::ToggleEditorZoom`
- When activated, the active editor pane expands to fill 100% of the
center/editor area, hiding sibling split panes
- Docks and panels remain visible and unaffected
- Toggling again restores the previous split layout
- If `ToggleZoom` is active, it unzooms first, then maximizes
