test: drive build / rebuild commands through real view-title UI

Updates the three Java Project Manager E2E plans based on feedback that
the setup steps were redundant and that build commands should exercise
the actual UI affordances rather than short-circuiting via the keybinding
bridge.

Setup simplification (applied to all three plans):
- Drop the no-op collapseSidebarSection OUTLINE / TIMELINE steps. Both
  panes are collapsed by default in a fresh VS Code session, so the
  steps did nothing and only produced confusing identical before/after
  screenshots.
- Replace collapseWorkspaceRoot (which only collapsed the file tree
  inside the MAVEN pane) with collapseSidebarSection maven (which
  collapses the entire MAVEN pane). This gives JAVA PROJECTS the full
  vertical space.

Build lifecycle plan — switch to real UI paths:
- "Build All" now goes through clickViewTitleAction "Java Projects"
  "Build All" — clicks the $(tools) icon in the Java Projects view
  title bar, exercising the full button-rendering + when-clause +
  command-dispatch chain instead of bypassing it.
- "Rebuild All" now goes through clickViewTitleAction "Java Projects"
  "Rebuild All" — the helper automatically falls through to the
  "Views and More Actions..." overflow menu when the action is not
  in the toolbar's navigation group.
- "Build Project" / "Rebuild Project" already used the project context
  menu — unchanged.
- "Reload Java Project" stays on executeVSCodeCommand: its editor
  title-bar button is conditional on java:reloadProjectActive, which
  is set by JDT.LS in a racy way that doesn't reliably flip for
  synthetic edits. The comment in the plan now documents the trade-off.

Local results:
  view-modes        30/30
  new-types         64/64
  build-lifecycle   18/18
