feat(ui): add hover state and caret to mosaic user button trigger

[alexcarpenter]

Description

Adds a hover state and a caret to the Mosaic UserButton trigger.

• The trigger gets 4px padding, a 6px gap between its items, and a neutral background wash on hover. The wash also holds while the popup is open.
• The trigger's corner still follows the workspace mark: full round for a user, 6px for an organization.
• A labelled trigger now ends with a chevron-down icon. The avatar-only trigger is unchanged.

The trigger measures 36px tall from the 28px avatar plus padding.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The user button trigger now uses token-based radius, alignment, hover and open states, transitions, and revised spacing. Shape-specific trigger styles were removed. Labelled triggers render a styled downward caret and use an xs avatar. Avatar-only triggers use an sm avatar. Tests and Storybook coverage document these behaviors and corner styling.
