fix(desktop): remove redundant open project button from workspace modal

[Kitenite]

Summary

• Remove the "Open" button from the new workspace modal since it duplicates functionality available in the start view
• Clean up unused imports and handlers (handleOpenNewProject, useOpenNew, useCreateBranchWorkspace)
• Simplify the project selector layout to full width

Test plan

• Open the new workspace modal and verify the "Open" button is gone
• Verify the project selector dropdown is full width
• Verify creating a new workspace still works correctly

Walkthrough

The NewWorkspaceModal UI and logic for opening existing projects and creating a main workspace on the current branch were removed; project selection was simplified to a single Select and styling adjusted. The CreateWorkspaceButton label text was changed.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
NewWorkspaceModal simplification apps/desktop/src/renderer/components/NewWorkspaceModal/NewWorkspaceModal.tsx	Removed handlers and UI for opening existing projects and creating branch/main workspaces (e.g., handleOpenNewProject, openNew, createBranchWorkspace). Removed Tooltip, TooltipTrigger, TooltipContent, and the inline Open button/icon. Dropped imports/hooks for init/open-worktree flows; preserved createWorkspace flow and core modal controls. Adjusted SelectTrigger styling from flex-1 to w-full.
Button label update apps/desktop/src/renderer/screens/main/components/TopBar/WorkspaceTabs/CreateWorkspaceButton.tsx	Changed button text from "Create" to "Workspace" (UI text update only; no handler/control-flow changes).

Poem

🐰 A quiet modal, neat and small,
I hopped and nudged to clear the hall.
One select to pick, one button true,
Fewer paths to wander through.
🥕 Hooray—less clutter, more ado!
