From Satya's right-pane audit (#general, 2026-10-27): Review shouldn't be a generic pane type in the right pane.

Change

Removed the Review tile from the right pane's New Tab "Tools" list (RightPaneNewTab/paneOptions.ts, RightPaneKind, createRightPane).

Nothing else changes:

• Clicking a PR still opens a pull-request pane for that PR in the right pane area. That covers the New Tab's "Pull requests" list, the toolbar PR badge, and the sidebar PR chip.
• The review pane renderer stays registered, so saved layouts that already hold one still render.

Rebased onto main after #8965 (New Tab screen), which replaced the add menu and empty state this PR first edited. The empty-state "Pull request #N" button from the first version is gone: that empty state no longer exists, and the New Tab's PR list covers it.

Validation

• tsc --noEmit (desktop): pass
• biome check on RightPaneNewTab: clean
• bun test for RightPaneNewTab, RightPaneArea and useRightPaneAreaLifecycle: 7 pass. The option list assertions now exclude review.
• bun run check:i18n: 0 missing in every locale
• Not checked in the running app, and no screenshots.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Changes
  • The Review option is no longer available when choosing a pane to open in a workspace’s right pane. Other pane options remain available.
