Proposed UI redesign of workflow import dialog #20842

Description

@neoformit

Some of the Galaxy AU team (@GarethPrice-Aus, @AnnaSyme) got a bee in their bonnet about the workflow import UI which is fairly uninviting to general Galaxy users, with unfamiliar language like "archived workflow", "GA4GH", TRS ID". We did a whiteboard session and came up with a design that we feel provides more familiar language and guides the user journey better. The content is very much the same, we have just changed the layout and flow to make it more intuitive.

@dannon @bgruening interested to hear your thoughts - and also whether this conflicts with any other work in progress? If the UI committee likes this, we can make a PR.

Relates to #19993, #15533, #12192

We also considered the suggestion from @hexylena that WFH/Dockstore could be separate tabs, but assume this would be too rigid as a design choice if more GA4GH servers are added in future.
