Title: SVG Preview/Render Support in Warp Terminal

As a Warp terminal user,
I want to select an SVG file in the docs tree and view a rendered preview,
So that I can visually inspect SVG assets without leaving the terminal.

Description:

When selecting an SVG file from the file/docs tree, Warp should open a new tab with a rendered preview of the SVG, similar to how Markdown files are currently handled. The tab should offer Rendered | Raw toggle views — "Rendered" showing the visual SVG output and "Raw" showing the SVG source code.

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Clicking/selecting an SVG file in the docs tree opens a preview tab.
  • The preview tab displays the SVG rendered visually by default.
  • A Rendered | Raw toggle allows switching between the visual render and raw SVG source.
  • Behavior is consistent with the existing Markdown preview experience.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Yes. Currently, when working with SVG assets (icons, illustrations, or UI components)
within the terminal, there is no way to visually verify the file content without
switching context to an external application (e.g., a web browser or VS Code).

This creates a fragmented workflow where a user must manually find and open
the file in another tool just to confirm they are looking at the correct asset.
While Warp already provides an excellent preview experience for Markdown files,
the lack of SVG rendering feels like a missing piece of that integrated
documentation/file-tree experience.
