fix(workspace): default PLATFORM_URL to host.docker.internal in all modules

KI-014 follow-on: inside a workspace container, localhost refers to the
container itself, not the platform. Four files had the Docker-aware
if-branch correct but fell through to localhost:8080 as the non-Docker
fallback — effectively making the Docker path the ONLY path that works,
since local dev on Mac/Linux can also resolve host.docker.internal via
the Docker daemon's built-in resolver.

Fix: unify the default to host.docker.internal in both branches, so
the env-var override always works and no caller ever silently falls
back to the wrong address.

- a2a_cli.py: else branch hardcoded localhost → host.docker.internal
- consolidation.py: same
- coordinator.py: same
- builtin_tools/temporal_workflow.py: two inline os.environ.get defaults
  replaced with a _platform_url() helper for DRY + consistent detection
