Subject: [PATCH] feat(settings): Add auto-approve mode switching option to
 Settings UI

Add the ability to configure automatic mode switching approval in the Settings UI.

Implementation:
- Added alwaysAllowModeSwitch checkbox in the Auto-Approve Settings section
- Added state management integration with useExtensionState
- Added vscode.postMessage handler for state updates
- Placed the setting logically between MCP tools and execute operations settings

The new setting allows users to:
- Enable/disable automatic approval of mode switching operations
- Configure mode switching approval independently of other auto-approve settings
- Maintain consistent UX with other auto-approve settings

This completes the mode switching auto-approval feature, working in conjunction with:
- Previously added state management in ExtensionStateContext
- Core logic changes in ClineProvider
- WebviewMessage type updates
- Existing test coverage in ChatView.auto-approve.test.tsx
