feat(external-pr): surface in-flight reviews in the panel, not just completed

The PR-review queue only listed COMPLETED reviews and hid when empty, so while
a review was in_progress the panel showed nothing — no sign a review was
happening or where its findings go (the reviewer posts its change-request on
the PR itself). Add TaskService.list_external_pr_reviews (active reviews +
awaiting-decision, minus cancelled/decided/dismissed); the route uses it. The
panel card now shows active reviews with a 'Reviewing' badge and a link to the
PR where the change-request lands, and the Supersede/Dismiss actions only once
the review completes.
