feat: implement hybrid conversation history system with workspace hashes

- Add workspace hash functionality using VS Code stable identifiers
- Update HistoryItem schema to include optional workspaceHash field
- Implement automatic migration for existing path-based history
- Add hybrid filtering with hash-based primary matching and path fallback
- Include path search functionality with "path:" prefix
- Add comprehensive test coverage for all new functionality
- Maintain backward compatibility with existing workspace paths

Fixes #6398
