terminal: Fix unresponsive buttons on load until center pane is clicked + Auto-focus docked terminal on load if no other item is focused (#23039)
Closes #23006

This PR should have been split into two, but since the changes are
related, I merged them into one.

1. On load, the title bar actions and bottom bar toggles are
unresponsive until the center pane is clicked. This happens because the
terminal captures focus (even if it's closed) long after the workspace
sets focus to itself during loading.

The issue was in the `focus_view` call used in the `new` method of
`TerminalPanel`. Since new terminal views can be created behind the
scenes (i.e., without the terminal being visible to the user), we
shouldn't handle focus for the terminal in this case. Removing
`focus_view` from the `new` method has no impact on the existing
terminal focusing logic. I've tested scenarios such as creating new
terminals, splitting terminals, zooming, etc., and everything works as
expected.

2. Currently, on load, docked terminals do not automatically focus when
they are only visible item to the user. This PR implements it.

Before/After:

1. When only the dock terminal is visible on load. Terminal is focused.

2. When other items are visible along with the dock terminal on load.
Editor is focused.

3. Multiple tabs along with split panes. Last terminal is focused.

Future:

When a docked terminal is in a zoomed state and Zed is loaded, we should
prioritize focusing on the terminal over the active item (e.g., an
editor) behind it. This hasn't been implemented in this PR because the
zoomed state during the load function is stale. The correct state is
received later via the workspace. I'm still investigating where exactly
this should be handled, so this will be a separate PR.
