fix: close workspace when api closes its last tab (#1899)

herdr tab close on a workspace's only tab returned tab_close_failed,
while the TUI close-tab action on the same tab closes the tab and
cascades to closing the workspace. Cascade in the API too, emitting
tab.closed then workspace.closed. When the cascade would close a whole
worktree group, return confirmation_required instead, matching
pane.close and the TUI prompt.

-A tab is another terminal layout inside a workspace. Without `--workspace`, `tab create` uses the active workspace and fails if none exists. Its JSON response exposes `.result.tab.tab_id` and `.result.root_pane.pane_id`.
+A tab is another terminal layout inside a workspace. Without `--workspace`, `tab create` uses the active workspace and fails if none exists. Its JSON response exposes `.result.tab.tab_id` and `.result.root_pane.pane_id`. Closing a workspace's last tab also closes the workspace, matching the TUI close-tab action; when `confirm_close` is enabled and that would also close a whole worktree group, `tab close` returns a `confirmation_required` error instead.
 
 Workspace and tab creation, and pane splitting, leave focus unchanged by default. `--focus` selects the new layout; `--no-focus` states the default explicitly. Without `--cwd`, new terminals follow the configured `terminal.new_cwd` policy, which follows the source pane or workspace by default. Each `--env KEY=VALUE` adds or replaces that variable in the new root shell.
