[ENHANCEMENT] Global command to toggle Auto‑Approve (keybinding‑ready)

Problem / Value

There’s no quick way to toggle Auto‑Approve without reaching for the mouse. A global command with a keybinding lets users switch between cautious and high‑velocity workflows instantly, reducing interruptions and preventing mistakes when they want Auto‑Approve off.

Context

Affects users who frequently enable/disable Auto‑Approve during a coding session. This should work anywhere in VS Code (not just when the Roo panel is focused).

Desired behavior

• Add a Command Palette entry: “Roo: Toggle Auto‑Approve” that flips the master Auto‑Approve setting.
• Make it bindable to a keyboard shortcut.
• Include a default keybinding chosen by maintainers (no specific keys suggested here).
• Keep existing Auto‑Approve behavior as‑is; this only provides a faster way to toggle it.

Constraints/Preferences (optional)

• Global scope (works anywhere in VS Code).
• Keep the experience lightweight and responsive; reflect the updated state in the UI quickly.

I'm exploring a potential fix for adding a global command to toggle Auto-Approve with keyboard shortcut support. I'll open a PR to share progress.

Opened PR #8073 with my attempt at addressing this issue. The implementation adds a global command 'Roo: Toggle Auto-Approve' with keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+A (Cmd+Shift+A on Mac) that toggles the master Auto-Approve setting. Feedback welcome!
