Rename 'directory' command to 'workspace' and unify terminology #20737

Description

@keithguerin

Following the UX decision to use 'Workspace' as the standard term for the environment (CWD + trusted directories), we need to:

  1. Add '/workspace' as an alias for '/directory' (or rename it).
  2. Update all UI strings in directoryCommand.tsx to use 'Workspace' terminology.
  3. Update MCP command messages to use 'workspace' scope instead of 'project'.
  4. Standardize setting labels (e.g., 'Hide CWD' -> 'Hide Workspace Path') and descriptions.
  5. Once complete, remove the temporary '(/directory)' hint from the footer.

Current footer label: 'Workspace (/directory)'
