Closes #52132.

This PR previously also fixes the "expanded message editor not taking up full height" part, but #52545 has already fixed that. Yet it seems to leave a new issue (that was previously not revealed) behind, as follows.

This PR fixes the Full + ExcludeOverscrollMargin editor mode (which the agent panel message editor uses in expanded mode), which could jitter while typing because render-time layout and scroll-position updates were clamping against different effective scroll_beyond_last_line policies. This PR fixes that inconsistency so the expanded editor stays stable while typing, and adds a regression test covering ExcludeOverscrollMargin scroll clamping.

Release Notes:

Seems already fixed in #52545, but this is still meaningful in fixing the jittering in expanded mode, but I will need to reformulate this PR.

This PR fixes the `Full + ExcludeOverscrollMargin` editor mode (which
the agent panel message editor uses in expanded mode), which could
jitter while typing because render-time layout and scroll-position
updates were clamping against different effective
`scroll_beyond_last_line` policies. This PR fixes that inconsistency so
the expanded editor stays stable while typing, and adds a regression
test covering `ExcludeOverscrollMargin` scroll clamping.
