Feat: Add Generate Workflow and Review Workflow button to Agentic Chat Empty State

Summary

Introduces the duo_chat_workplan_empty_state feature flag (wip type) and a new conditional empty state in the Duo Agentic Chat panel when a user is viewing a work item.

What changed

config/feature_flags/wip/duo_chat_workplan_empty_state.yml — New wip feature flag, disabled by default.

ee/app/assets/javascripts/ai/duo_agentic_chat/components/active_trial_or_subscription_empty_state.vue

When the flag is enabled and the resourceId corresponds to a WorkItem GID:

• No existing workplan → header "Ready when you are" + paragraph "Work with GitLab Duo to break your item into an efficient implementation plan." + Generate Workplan button (emits generate-workplan)
• Existing workplan found → header "Workplan found" + paragraph "A work plan has already been started for this item." + Review and confirm button (emits review-workplan with the first workplan)

When the flag is disabled or the user is not on a work item, the existing "GitLab Duo Agent Platform" header and full agent/prompt UI are shown unchanged.
