Saxon Fletcher 252f69e451 chore(studio): refine Explorer sidebar, onboarding, and notebooks (#50555)
## Summary

A round of small Explorer refinements.

**Sidebar**
- Adds a **Run SQL** row (with a `+` icon) above Notebooks in the
Explorer sidebar; opens a new query tab.

**Assistant**
- Assistant query cells now have the same **Save** dropdown as query
tabs (add to an existing notebook or create a new one). It shows only
when Explorer is enabled, and not while the query is still streaming.
- `SaveQueryDropdown` takes an optional `source`, so logs queries are
saved as log cells (keeping their time range) instead of database cells.
This also fixes saving logs queries from query tabs.
- The "Drafting notebook..." notice (and the notebook loading/status
rows) now span the full message width; `delete_notebook` parts use the
wide layout like create/update.

**Onboarding**
- Replaces the single page with a four-step walkthrough: Welcome to
Explorer (with a **Preview** badge), Run SQL, Notebooks, and Chat with
your project. Each step has an icon, heading, and short description,
with step dots and **Skip** / **Back** / **Next** buttons; the last step
ends with **Continue to Explorer**.
- Removes the "Choose how Explorer opens" choice (still available in
Account preferences) and the collapsible "Learn more" section. Skipping
or finishing still respects the saved startup preference.
- Deletes `ExplorerOnboardingLearnMore`, `ExplorerHomePreference`, and
`ExplorerHomePreview`, which were only used by onboarding.

**Notebooks**
- Query cells use the same max width as markdown cells (`48rem`, was
`72rem`).
- "Add query cell" / "Add markdown cell" are now **Add query** / **Add
markdown** everywhere; the buttons at the bottom of a notebook are
larger (34px, 18px icons).

## Test plan

- [ ] Explorer sidebar: **Run SQL** opens a new query tab
- [ ] Assistant: generate SQL, use **Save** to add it to a new and an
existing notebook; repeat with a logs query and confirm a log cell is
created
- [ ] Assistant: ask for a notebook and confirm the drafting notice is
full width
- [ ] Clear `hasCompletedOnboarding` in Explorer preferences and step
through onboarding (Next / Back / Skip); finishing or skipping respects
the startup preference set in Account preferences
- [ ] Notebook: query cells line up with markdown cell width; bottom add
buttons are larger
