Add project-wide "Open in VSCode" and "Show in Explorer" buttons for quick access #10928

Description

@DrafaKiller

GitButler already includes "Open in VSCode" and "Show in Explorer" options in the top-left dropdown menus. However, these actions are somewhat hidden in the UI, requiring extra clicks and navigation to access, and are less satisfying in general.

It would be very helpful to have project-wide buttons for these actions prominently displayed in the main project view.

Motivation

  • Reduces friction for frequently accessed projects;
  • Saves time for developers switching between multiple projects;
  • Improves discoverability for users who may not notice the dropdown menu options.

Demonstration

Here's what I would expect from the design:
