Add button to OR GUI for easy access

Design inspiration- Copilot extension on browsers

@luarss

Hey @luarss, I am interested in working on this issue, could you please assign me?

Any change in gui should have a corresponding change to web.

@maliberty

To make sure I'm approaching this correctly, could you clarify the following?

"OR GUI" implementation: Are we aiming to add a button directly into the OpenROAD Qt/C++ GUI that launches/opens the ORAssistant, or is this "GUI" referring to the ORAssistant's own interface?
"Change to web": By "web", do you mean the nextjs-frontend we have in this repository? If so, should I be adding a Copilot-style side panel/toggle directly into our Next.js web app to match the OR GUI
button's functionality?

I mean src/web is eventually going to obsolete src/gui. Any new functionality should appear in both.
