feat(cli): add Zed IDE scroll optimization

- Detect Zed IDE via ZED_TERM environment variable
- Implement ZedScrollAccel with 0.15x base multiplier and velocity-based boost
- Refactor useScrollManagement to useChatScrollbox hook
- Add smooth animated scrolling with easeOutCubic easing
- Consolidate Zed detection and scroll configuration in hook
- Scroll acceleration: 0.15x base, up to 1.9x for sustained fast scrolling
