Pull request overview
Aligns chat session creation command labels with the rest of the UI by adding the “Session” suffix to provider-specific “New {provider}” commands in the Chat Sessions contribution.
Changes:
- Rename the command palette entry for creating a new provider session to “New {0} Session”.
- Rename the Chat New menu (+ button) entry for creating a new provider session to “New {0} Session”.
- Rename the in-place and external “New {0}” session creation actions to “New {0} Session”.

Chat session commands like "Chat: New Claude" lacked the "Session" suffix present elsewhere in the UI, making naming inconsistent.
