Fix type graph viewer to display scopeless decorator state

Scopeless decorators (e.g., @clientName("enabled") without a scope parameter) store their state using Symbol keys. The type graph viewer's ObjectInspector and ObjectPreview only iterated over string properties via Object.getOwnPropertyNames() and for...in loops, causing Symbol-keyed decorator state to appear empty in both expanded and collapsed views.

Changes:

• Add Symbol key iteration in object-inspector.tsx using Object.getOwnPropertySymbols()
• Add Symbol key iteration in object-preview.tsx to show Symbol properties in collapsed view
• Get all property keys (string and Symbol) upfront and process them together
• Update getPropertyValue() in property-utils.tsx to accept string | symbol
• Add Symbol key sorting for consistent display ordering when sortObjectKeys is enabled
• Remove nested describe blocks in tests per review feedback
• Add test for Symbol property sorting in object inspector
• Add tests for Symbol properties in object preview
• Fix inconsistency in empty string key handling for enumerable and non-enumerable properties
• Add changelog entry for the fix

Example:

@clientName("EnabledProperty")  // Scopeless - uses Symbol key
model Example {
  @clientName("isEnabled")      // Now displays in type graph viewer
  enable: true;
}

Previously, the decorator data would render as Symbol(...): { } in both collapsed and expanded views. Now it correctly displays the decorator properties in both the collapsed object preview and the expanded inspector view.

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Type graph does not contain scopeless clientName</issue_title>
<issue_description>If I specify a @clientName decorator with a different rename value than the property name and no scope, as is supported by documentation for all emitters, the type graph view at least in the Playground does not show a value despite the autorest emitter emitting an x-ms-enum.name correctly:

Only if I specify a scope does it show up right. Surely, this is a bug since the emitters need to get it from the type graph. But is it only a bug in the playground? Does this happen if other optional decorator properties aren't specified?

<agent_instructions>In the html program viewer it seems like we are not displaying state entries without a name and so the key is a symbol which seems is skipped</agent_instructions>

Comments on the Issue (you are @copilot in this section)

@timotheeguerin I think this is a bug in the program viewer, when no scope is provided the key is a symbol and seems like we might not be showing those keys

Just as a heads up, I was blocked by some firewall rules while working on your feedback. Expand below for details.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:
