improvement(workflow-search): include block names in in-workflow search (#4668)

* improvement(workflow-search): include block names in in-workflow search

Adds block names to the workflow search index alongside subblock content. Selecting a block-name match navigates to the block and highlights its title in the editor header with the same orange treatment used for subblock labels.

* refactor(panel-store): derive ActiveSearchTargetKind from WorkflowSearchTarget

Replaces the hand-maintained literal union with a derived type so adding a new target kind in search-replace/types.ts automatically propagates here.
