### 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.

Fixes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/7799 by forcing the
modal to close before dispatching the action.
While not needed specifically for this case, changed the context menus
to do the same, to be uniform — context menu actions seem to work
properly after this change too.
Release Notes:
- Fixed markdown preview action not working
([7799](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/7799))
This PR renames the `h_stack` and `v_stack` to `h_flex` and `v_flex`,
respectively.
We were previously using `h_stack` and `v_stack` to match SwiftUI, but
`h_flex` and `v_flex` fit better with the web/flexbox terminology that
the rest of GPUI uses.
Additionally, we were already calling the utility functions used to
implement `h_stack` and `v_stack` by the new names.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR renames the `IconElement` component to just `Icon`.
This better matches the rest of our components, as `IconElement` was the
only one using this naming convention.
The `Icon` enum has been renamed to `IconName` to free up the name.
I was trying to come up with a way that would allow rendering an
`Icon::Zed` directly (and thus make the `IconElement` a hidden part of
the API), but I couldn't come up with a way to do this cleanly.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR deletes the old `ui` and `storybook` crates in favor of their
newer variants that we'll be landing to `main` in the near future.
### Motivation
These crates are based off the old version of GPUI 2 (the `gpui2`
crate).
At this point we have since transitioned to the new version of GPUI 2
(the `gpui3` crate, currently still on the `gpui2` branch).
Having both copies around is confusing, so the old ones are going the
way of the dinosaurs.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR mainlines the current state of new GPUI2-based UI from the
`gpui2-ui` branch.
Release Notes:
- N/A
