* [x] Fixed an issue where embeddings would be assigned incorrectly to
files if a subset of embedding batches failed
* [x] Added a command to debug which paths are present in the semantic
index
* [x] Determine why so many paths are often missing from the semantic
index
* we erroring out if an embedding batch contained multiple texts that
were the same, which can happen if a worktree contains multiple copies
of the same text (e.g. a license).

This introduces semantic indexing in Zed based on chunking text from
files in the developer's workspace and creating vector embeddings using
an embedding model. As part of this, we've created an embeddings
provider trait that allows us to work with OpenAI, a local Ollama model,
or a Zed hosted embedding.
The semantic index is built by breaking down text for known
(programming) languages into manageable chunks that are smaller than the
max token size. Each chunk is then fed to a language model to create a
high dimensional vector which is then normalized to a unit vector to
allow fast comparison with other vectors with a simple dot product.
Alongside the vector, we store the path of the file and the range within
the document where the vector was sourced from.
Zed will soon grok contextual similarity across different text snippets,
allowing for natural language search beyond keyword matching. This is
being put together both for human-based search as well as providing
results to Large Language Models to allow them to refine how they help
developers.
Remaining todo:
* [x] Change `provider` to `model` within the zed hosted embeddings
database (as its currently a combo of the provider and the model in one
name)
