Accept ?w= URL query parameter alongside ?o=

The Databricks UI is migrating from ?o=<workspace-id> to ?w=<workspace-id>
as the SPOG URL query parameter, matching the new workspace addressing
header. Extend the CLI's URL parsers to recognize ?w= in addition to the
existing ?o= and ?workspace_id= spellings. Pure addition; no existing URL
changes meaning.

This affects:

- databricks api <verb> <path?w=...> — workspace ID extracted from the
  path and sent as the routing header on the call.
- databricks auth login --host "https://...?w=..." — workspace ID
  extracted from the host URL and persisted to the profile.
- workspace.host in databricks.yml — same parser is reused.

When more than one spelling is present on a single URL, ?o= takes
precedence over ?w=, which takes precedence over ?workspace_id=. The "o"
precedence preserves the meaning of any URL already pasted from older UI
builds, shell history, or committed databricks.yml files.

The cmd/api helper extractOrgIDFromQuery is renamed to
extractWorkspaceIDFromQuery to reflect that it now returns the value
under multiple recognized parameter names.
