We've had problems in the past with bumping past 0.5.2 due to perf
regressions reported by @huacnlee; 0.5.1 was fine though.
Hence, let's bump taffy to 0.5.1 as a safe bet and then try to push past
0.5.2 (after we identify the root cause of regression

Editing JSON styles is not very helpful for bringing style changes back
to the actual code. This PR adds a buffer that pretends to be Rust,
applying any style attribute identifiers it finds. Also supports
completions with display of documentation. The effect of the currently
selected completion is previewed. Warning diagnostics appear on any
unrecognized identifier.

Adds a `#[derive_inspector_reflection]` macro which allows these methods
to be enumerated and called by their name. The macro code changes were
95% generated by Zed Agent + Opus 4.
Release Notes:
* Added an element inspector for development. On debug builds,
`dev::ToggleInspector` will open a pane allowing inspecting of element
info and modifying styles.
Open inspector with `dev: toggle inspector` from command palette or
`cmd-alt-i` on mac or `ctrl-alt-i` on linux.

* Picking of elements via the mouse, with scroll wheel to inspect
occluded elements.
* Temporary manipulation of the selected element.
* Layout info and JSON-based style manipulation for `Div`.
* Navigation to code that constructed the element.
Big thanks to @as-cii and @maxdeviant for sorting out how to implement
the core of an inspector.

There's still a bit more work to do on this, but this PR is compiling
(with warnings) after eliminating the key types. When the tasks below
are complete, this will be the new narrative for GPUI:
- `Entity<T>` - This replaces `View<T>`/`Model<T>`. It represents a unit
of state, and if `T` implements `Render`, then `Entity<T>` implements
`Element`.
- `&mut App` This replaces `AppContext` and represents the app.
- `&mut Context<T>` This replaces `ModelContext` and derefs to `App`. It
is provided by the framework when updating an entity.
- `&mut Window` Broken out of `&mut WindowContext` which no longer
exists. Every method that once took `&mut WindowContext` now takes `&mut
Window, &mut App` and every method that took `&mut ViewContext<T>` now
takes `&mut Window, &mut Context<T>`
Not pictured here are the two other failed attempts. It's been quite a
month!
Tasks:
- [x] Remove `View`, `ViewContext`, `WindowContext` and thread through
`Window`
- [x] [@cole-miller @mikayla-maki] Redraw window when entities change
- [x] [@cole-miller @mikayla-maki] Get examples and Zed running
- [x] [@cole-miller @mikayla-maki] Fix Zed rendering
- [x] [@mikayla-maki] Fix todo! macros and comments
- [x] Fix a bug where the editor would not be redrawn because of view
caching
- [x] remove publicness window.notify() and replace with
`AppContext::notify`
- [x] remove `observe_new_window_models`, replace with
`observe_new_models` with an optional window
- [x] Fix a bug where the project panel would not be redrawn because of
the wrong refresh() call being used
- [x] Fix the tests
- [x] Fix warnings by eliminating `Window` params or using `_`
- [x] Fix conflicts
- [x] Simplify generic code where possible
- [x] Rename types
- [ ] Update docs
### issues post merge
- [x] Issues switching between normal and insert mode
- [x] Assistant re-rendering failure
- [x] Vim test failures
- [x] Mac build issue

Taffy maintains a mapping of NodeId <-> Context anyways (and does the
lookup), so it's redundant for us to store it separately. Tl;dr: we get
rid of one map and one map lookup per layout request.

I noticed a few places where we were storing `&'static str`s in
`static`s instead of `const`s.
This PR updates them to use `const`.

A minor thing I've spotted and decided to fix on the spot.
It was being cloned twice within the body of that function (one of which
was redundant even without this PR); now in most cases we go down from 2
clones to 0.

This pull request introduces the new
`ElementContext::request_autoscroll(bounds)` and
`ElementContext::take_autoscroll()` methods in GPUI. These new APIs
enable container elements such as `List` to change their scroll position
if one of their children requested an autoscroll. We plan to use this in
the revamped assistant.
As a drive-by, we also:
- Renamed `Element::before_layout` to `Element::request_layout`
- Renamed `Element::after_layout` to `Element::prepaint`
- Introduced a new `List::splice_focusable` method to splice focusable
elements into the list, which enables rendering offscreen elements that
are focused.

### Problem
After transitioning Zed to GPUI 2, we started noticing that interacting
with the mouse on many UI elements would lead to a pretty annoying
flicker. The main issue with the old approach was that hover state was
calculated based on the previous frame. That is, when computing whether
a given element was hovered in the current frame, we would use
information about the same element in the previous frame.
However, inspecting the previous frame tells us very little about what
should be hovered in the current frame, as elements in the current frame
may have changed significantly.
### Solution
This pull request's main contribution is the introduction of a new
`after_layout` phase when redrawing the window. The key idea is that
we'll give every element a chance to register a hitbox (see
`ElementContext::insert_hitbox`) before painting anything. Then, during
the `paint` phase, elements can determine whether they're the topmost
and draw their hover state accordingly.
We are also removing the ability to give an arbitrary z-index to
elements. Instead, we will follow the much simpler painter's algorithm.
That is, an element that gets painted after will be drawn on top of an
element that got painted earlier. Elements can still escape their
current "stacking context" by using the new `ElementContext::defer_draw`
method (see `Overlay` for an example). Elements drawn using this method
will still be logically considered as being children of their original
parent (for keybinding, focus and cache invalidation purposes) but their
layout and paint passes will be deferred until the currently-drawn
element is done.
With these changes we also reworked geometry batching within the
`Scene`. The new approach uses an AABB tree to determine geometry
occlusion, which allows the GPU to render non-overlapping geometry in
parallel.
### Performance
Performance is slightly better than on `main` even though this new
approach is more correct and we're maintaining an extra data structure
(the AABB tree).

Release Notes:
- Fixed a bug that was causing popovers to flicker.

Upgraded Taffy to v0.4.0 from crates.io (previously using prerelease
version from git).
Code changes required were minor as gpui was already using a recent
version of Taffy.

Reverts zed-industries/zed#7481
This would regress performance because we'd be using the standard
library's hash maps everywhere, so reverting for now.
