Fix quote reply shortcut in work item side panel
What does this MR do and why?
Fixes the quote reply shortcut in the work item side panel.
With text selected in the side panel (split view, opened from the work item list, planning view, or related items), pressing r focused the reply box but did not quote the selected text. It worked on the full work item page.
CopyAsGFM.selectionToGfm() only accepts selections inside #content-body by default. The side panel is rendered into #contextual-panel-portal, outside #content-body, so the selection was discarded and nothing was quoted.
When the notes are rendered in the panel (isDrawer), this MR passes the panel element (.work-item-detail-panel) as the root. The full page is unchanged.
A Jest spec asserts that the panel element is passed as the root. It fails without the fix. The full work_item_notes_spec.js passes (54 tests).
