Jarrod Whelan 445aedeab8 feat(ui): implement compact tool output and structured tool results
This commit introduces the compactToolOutput feature to optimize terminal vertical space usage for common, high-volume tools.

1. Compact Tool Output UI:
- Added DenseToolMessage component for rendering compact, single-line tool summaries.
- Updated ToolGroupMessage to detect contiguous compact tools and render them with stitched borders for a streamlined look.
- Added Ctrl+O shortcut in AppContainer to toggle full expansion of tool results from the last turn.
- Implemented useGeminiStream border logic to correctly render borders around dense sections.

2. Core Tool Structured Results:
- grep: Updated to return GrepResult with matches, file paths, and line numbers instead of a raw formatted string.
- ls (list_directory): Updated to return ListDirectoryResult with an array of files.
- read_many_files: Updated to return ReadManyFilesResult with read files, skipped files, and reasons.
- Modified ToolResultDisplay and isStructuredToolResult type guards to support these new structured interfaces.

3. User Settings & Documentation:
- Added compactToolOutput to the UI settings schema (default: true).
- Updated configuration docs and schema to reflect the new setting.
- Adjusted compact subview line limits (COMPACT_TOOL_SUBVIEW_MAX_LINES).
