fix(ui): surface precondition hints for silently-disabled review buttons (UX-Audit #2)

Cancel now shows an amber hint + tooltip while a merge drain is in
progress (ShowMergeDrainHint mirrors IsMergeDraining). Continue,
Reset & Retry, Open Diff, Worktree, and Review Combined Diff gain
ToolTip.Tip + ToolTip.ShowOnDisabled explaining why they're locked.
No CanExecute or behavior changed, only added communication.
