fix: set codersdk.Task current_state during task initialization (#20692)

## Problem

With the new tasks data model, a task starts with an `initializing`
status. However, the API returns `current_state: null` to represent the
agent state, causing the frontend to display "No message available".
This PR updates `codersdk.Task` to return a `current_state` when the
task is initializing with meaningful messages about what's happening
during task initialization.

## Changes

- Populate `current_state` with descriptive initialization messages when
task status is `initializing` and no valid app status exists for the
current build
- **dbfake**: Fix `WorkspaceBuild` builder to properly handle
pending/running jobs by linking tasks without requiring agent/app
resources

**Note:** UI Storybook changes to reflect these new messages will be
addressed in a follow-up PR.
