Andrew Aquino 3e85cfb2c5 fix: during workspace bulk start/stop, skip workspaces already in target state (#27108)
Previously, bulk start required every selected workspace to be stopped,
and bulk stop required every selected workspace to be running. Mixed
selections disabled both buttons entirely.

- Change the disabled checks on bulk start/stop from `every()` to
`some()` so the buttons are enabled when at least one workspace is
eligible.
- Filter workspaces by status in the mutation functions so only eligible
workspaces are sent to the API, matching the pattern used by other batch
mutations (update, favorite, unfavorite).
- Update docs to reflect the new behavior.

## Problem

When an admin selects multiple workspaces and opens the "Bulk actions"
dropdown, the **Start** menu item is disabled unless *every* selected
workspace has `latest_build.status === "stopped"`. If even one workspace
is already running (or in any other non-stopped state), the Start button
is grayed out and unusable. Same issue applies to **Stop**.

## Changes

### 1. Relax disabled condition (`WorkspacesPageView.tsx`)

Changed `every()` to `some()` for both Start and Stop dropdown items.
The buttons are now enabled when at least one selected workspace is in
the target state.

### 2. Filter in mutations (`batchActions.ts`)

Added `.filter()` before `.map()` in both `startAllMutation` and
`stopAllMutation` so only eligible workspaces hit the API. This matches
the existing pattern in `updateAllMutation`, `favoriteAllMutation`, and
`unfavoriteAllMutation`.

### 3. Update documentation (`docs/user-guides/workspace-management.md`)

Replaced "can only be applied to a set of workspaces which are all in
the same state" with "apply to eligible workspaces in the selection,
skipping workspaces that are already in the target state."

## Testing

Four new Storybook stories:

| Story | What it tests |
|-------|---------------|
| `StartIgnoresAlreadyRunningWorkspaces` | Mixed selection; only stopped
workspaces get `startWorkspace` calls |
| `StopIgnoresAlreadyStoppedWorkspaces` | Mixed selection; only running
workspaces get `stopWorkspace` calls |
| `StartDisabledWhenNoWorkspacesAreStartable` | All running; Start
button is disabled |
| `StopDisabledWhenNoWorkspacesAreStoppable` | All stopped; Stop button
is disabled |
