agent_ui: Show the "new thread" keybinding for the currently active agent (#42939)

This PR's goal is to improve discoverability of how Zed "remembers" the
currently selected agent when hitting `cmd-n` (or `ctrl-n`). Hitting
that binding starts a new thread with whatever agent is currently
selected.

In the example below, I am in a Claude Code thread and if I hit `cmd-n`,
a new, fresh CC thread will be started:

Release Notes:

new thread with the currently selected agent.
