Subject: [PATCH] feat: improve mobile responsiveness (#24821)

Linear: DEVEX-270

The nav links (Workspaces, Templates, Tasks, Agents) were always
rendered horizontally, overflowing on small viewports and pushing
right-side controls (notifications, user menu, hamburger) off-screen.
The Agents page has no Navbar since it sits outside DashboardLayout,
leaving mobile users with no way to navigate back.

- Hide nav links below `md` breakpoint; they now live in the hamburger
menu alongside the existing admin/user settings sections
- Add Workspaces, Templates, and Agents entries to the mobile menu
dropdown
- Show the Agents sidebar logo header on all viewports (was `hidden
md:block`), giving mobile users a tap target back to `/workspaces`
- Reduce workspace page content padding from `p-8` to `p-4 md:p-8`, with
matching negative-margin fix on `ResourceMetadata`

Before: nav links (Workspaces, Templates, Tasks, Agents) are always
visible, overflowing the mobile header and pushing the hamburger menu
off-screen. After: nav links are hidden below `md`; only the logo and
right-side controls are shown.

### Mobile menu

Before: hamburger menu had no navigation links. After: Workspaces,
Templates, and Agents links appear at the top of the dropdown.

### Agents sidebar

![after-agents-sidebar](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coder/coder/mobile-screenshots/.github/pr-screenshots/after-agents-sidebar.png)
|

Before: the Coder logo/back-link in the sidebar header was hidden on
mobile (`hidden md:block`). After: always visible, giving mobile users a
way to navigate back.

### Workspace page

| Before | After |
|--------|-------|
|
![before-workspace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coder/coder/mobile-screenshots/.github/pr-screenshots/before-workspace.png)
|
![after-workspace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coder/coder/mobile-screenshots/.github/pr-screenshots/after-workspace.png)
|

Before: `p-8` (32px) on all sides at every viewport. After: `p-4` (16px)
on mobile, `p-8` at `md` and above.
