Add an "SSH..." entry to the workspace picker that executes the connectViaSSH command, gated behind isNative since the SSH service is desktop-only. Refactor the item type to use a generic commandId instead of separate boolean flags for each connection type. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Pull request overview
Note
Copilot was unable to run its full agentic suite in this review.
Adds an SSH entry point to the session workspace picker to match the existing Tunnels entry, and generalizes “special action” items to run arbitrary commands.
Changes:
- Introduces a
commandId-based action item model (replacing thetunnelActionboolean). - Adds a “SSH…” workspace picker entry (desktop/native only) next to “Tunnels…”.
- Updates selection handler to execute the configured command for action items.

Add an "SSH..." entry to the workspace picker (session picker / new chat view page) that runs the
connectViaSSHcommand, giving SSH the same entry point that Tunnels already has. The SSH entry is gated behindisNativesince the SSH remote agent host service is only available on desktop.Also refactors the item type from separate boolean flags (
tunnelAction) to a genericcommandIdstring, simplifying the pattern for both Tunnel and SSH entries and making it easy to add more connection types in the future.(Written by Copilot)
