Workouts were private to their owner with no way to browse or copy
another user's - FavoriteController::toggleWorkout even had a comment
anticipating sharing ("users can still favorite others' workouts if
shared later") that was never followed up on.
Adds an is_public flag workouts can be toggled to from their own page,
a /workouts/community browse+search page, and a copy action that
duplicates a public workout (including all its exercises/sets/reps)
into the copier's own library.
Making this work required splitting workout authorization into two
tiers: authorizeView() (owner, the assigning trainer, or anyone if the
workout is public - read-only) and the existing authorizeWorkout()
(owner or assigning trainer - can add/edit/remove exercises). Deletion
stays strictly owner-only as before. The show page now hides the
"Add Exercise" panel and per-exercise edit/remove controls for viewers
who can see but not manage a workout.
Found and fixed a real Blade compiler quirk via live testing: `@if`
directly after a word character with no space (`exercises@if(...)`)
doesn't compile - Blade's directive regex treats it as email-like text
and leaves it literal - while the matching `@endif` still compiles,
producing invalid mismatched PHP. Fixed by adding a space.

About Laravel
Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable and creative experience to be truly fulfilling. Laravel takes the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in many web projects, such as:
- Simple, fast routing engine.
- Powerful dependency injection container.
- Multiple back-ends for session and cache storage.
- Expressive, intuitive database ORM.
- Database agnostic schema migrations.
- Robust background job processing.
- Real-time event broadcasting.
Laravel is accessible, powerful, and provides tools required for large, robust applications.
