agent: Improve discoverability of the quote selection action (#40897)
This PR renames the `agent::QuoteSelection` to `agent::AddSelectionToThread` _and_ adds it as a menu item in both the right-click context menu within regular buffers as well as the "Selection" app menu. We've received feedback in the past about how hard to discover this feature is, and after watching [the Syntax podcast crew](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRK3PeVFfVE) recently struggle with doing so—and then naturally looking for it in the context menu and not finding it—it felt like time to push a change. I think the rename + the availability in these places could help bringing it to surface more. The same action can be done in Cursor through the `cmd-l` keybinding, but in Zed, that triggers `editor::SelectLine`, which I don't want to override by default. However, if you're using Cursor's keymap, then `cmd-l` does trigger this action, as expected. <img width="500" height="1812" alt="Screenshot 2025-10-22 at 12 01@2x" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/dfc2c41c-8d0a-4a1a-8ea1-1bd5d1aa1171" /> Release Notes: - agent: Improves discoverability of the previously called "quote selection" action—which allows to add a text selection in a buffer as context within the agent panel—by renaming it to "add selection to thread" and making it available from the right-click editor context menu as well as the "Selection" app menu.
