When running the tests for linux, I found a lot of benign errors getting
logged. This PR cuts down some of the noise from unnecessary workspace
serialization and SVG renders

Zed can detect changes in monitor connections and disconnections and
provide corresponding feedback. For example, if the current window's
display monitor is disconnected, the window will be moved to the primary
monitor. And now Zed always opens on the monitor specified in
`WindowParams`.

The previous implementation relied on a background thread to wake up the
main thread,
which was prone to priority inversion under heavy load.
In a synthetic test, where we spawn 200 git processes while doing a 5ms
timeout, the old version blocked for 5-80ms, the new version blocks for
5.1-5.4ms.
Release Notes:
- Improved responsiveness of the main thread under high system load
While these would match how macOS handles this scenario, they crash on
Catalina, and require mouse clicks to interact.

This fixes restart after updates not working on Linux.
On Linux we can't reliably get the binary path after an update, because
the original binary was deleted and the path will contain ` (deleted)`.
See: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/69343
We *could* strip ` (deleted)` off, but that feels nasty. So instead we
save the original binary path, before we do the installation, then
restart.
Later on, we can also change this to be a _new_ binary path returned by
the installers, which we then have to start.

Now, regardless of how the Zed window is closed, Zed can remember the
window's restore size.
- [x] Windows implementation
- [x] macOS implementation
- [x] Linux implementation (partial)
- [x] update SQL data base (mark column `fullscreen` as deprecated)
The current implementation on Linux is basic, and I'm not sure if it's
correct.
The variable `fullscreen` in SQL can be removed, but I'm unsure how to
do it.
edit: mark `fullscreen` as deprecated
### Case 1
When the window is closed as maximized, reopening it will open in the
maximized state, and returning from maximized state will restore the
position and size it had when it was maximized.
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/assets/14981363/7207752e-878a-4d43-93a7-41ad1fdb3a06
### Case 2
When the window is closed as fullscreen, reopening it will open in
fullscreen mode, and toggling fullscreen will restore the position and
size it had when it entered fullscreen (note that the fullscreen
application was not recorded in the video, showing a black screen, but
it had actually entered fullscreen mode).

### What's more
- As English is not my native language, some variable and struct names
may need to be modified to match their actual meaning.
- I am not familiar with the APIs related to macOS and Linux, so
implementation for these two platforms has not been done for now.
- Any suggestions and ideas are welcome.

Notable things I've had to fix due to 1.78:
- Better detection of unused items
- New clippy lint (`assigning_clones`) that points out places where assignment operations with clone rhs could be replaced with more performant `clone_into`

fixes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/9132
By setting the app id, window managers like `sway` can apply custom
configuration like `for_window [app_id="zed"] floating enable`.
Tested using `wlprop`/`hyprctl activewindow` for wayland, `xprop` for
x11.
Release Notes:
- Zed now sets the window app id / class, which can be used e.g. in
window managers like `sway`/`i3` to define custom rules
Still TODO:
* Disable the new save-as for local projects
* Wire up sending the new path to the remote server
Release Notes:
- Added the ability to "Save-as" in remote projects

This puts the Linux platform implementation at a similar code style and
quality to the macOS platform. The largest change is that I collapsed
the `LinuxPlatform` -> `[Backend]` -> `[Backend]State` ->
`[Backend]StateInner` to just `[Backend]` and `[Backend]State`, and in
the process removed most of the `Rc`s and `RefCell`s.
TODO:
- [x] Make sure that this is on-par with the existing implementation
- [x] Review in detail, now that the large changes are done.
- [ ] Update the roadmap

@SomeoneToIgnore This code should 100% work for future Zed users, but
for current Zed users, Zed's internal list of recents may not be synced
w/ macOS' Recent Documents at first. If needed this can be fixed by
calling `cx.refresh_recent_documents` on startup, but that feels a bit
unnecessary.
Release Notes:
- Fixes behavior of Recent Documents list on macOS
This PR extracts the `SemanticVersion` out of `util` and into its own
`SemanticVersion` crate.
This allows for making use of `SemanticVersion` without needing to pull
in some of the heavier dependencies included in the `util` crate.
As part of this the public API for `SemanticVersion` has been tidied up
a bit.
Release Notes:

Sharing a project displays a notification (window) on every screen.
Previously there was an issue with the positioning of windows on all
screens except the primary screen.
As you can see here:

Now:

@mikayla-maki and I also decided to refactor the `WindowOptions` a bit.
Previously you could specify bounds which controlled the positioning and
size of the window in the global coordinate space, while also providing
a display id (which screen to show the window on). This can lead to
unusual behavior because you could theoretically specify a global bound
which does not even belong to the display id which was provided.
Therefore we changed the api to this:
```rust
struct WindowOptions {
/// The bounds of the window in screen coordinates
/// None -> inherit, Some(bounds) -> set bounds.
pub bounds: Option<Bounds<DevicePixels>>,
/// The display to create the window on, if this is None,
/// the window will be created on the main display
pub display_id: Option<DisplayId>,
}
```
This lets you specify a display id, which maps to the screen where the
window should be created and bounds relative to the upper left of the
screen.
Release Notes:
- Fixed positioning of popup windows (e.g. when sharing a project) when
using multiple external displays.

This reverts #9053 and #9375 because they introduced a regression on
`main` that broke the titlebars on macOS:

Two things are off:
- Left padding is missing
- Titlebar height is less than it was before, which means the
traffic-light buttons are not centered vertically
What @as-cii and I noticed while looking into this: the `cfg!(macos)`
macros that were used don't work like that. You need to check for
`cfg!(target = "macos")` etc. Means that on macOS we never used the
macOS-specific code because the condition was always false.
Overall height, we're not sure about.

### 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.

This adds a GPUI fallback for window prompts. Linux does not support
this feature by default, so we have to implement it ourselves.
This implementation also makes it possible for GPUI clients to override
the platform prompts with their own implementations.
This is just a first pass. These alerts are not keyboard accessible yet,
does not reflect the prompt level, they're implemented in-window, rather
than as popups, and the whole feature need a pass from a designer.
Regardless, this gets us one step closer to Linux support :)

Also adds a new command `cli: Register Zed Scheme` that will cause URLs
to be opened in the current zed version, and we call this implicitly if
you install the CLI
Also add some status reporting to install cli
Fixes: #8857
Release Notes:
- Added success/error reporting to `cli: Install Cli`
([#8857](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/8857)).
- Removed `zed-{preview,nightly,dev}:` url schemes (used by channel
links)
- Added `cli: Register Zed Scheme` to control which zed handles the
`zed://` scheme (defaults to the most recently installed, or
the version that you last used `cli: Install Cli` with)
This practice makes it difficult to locate todo!s in my code when I'm
working. Let's take out the bang if we want to keep doing this.

This reverts commit 0cebf68306.
Although this thing is very cool, it is a top source of crashes.
Example crash:
```
Segmentation fault: 11 on thread 26
objc_retain +16
invocation function for block in Overlay::onCommandBufferCommit(id<MTLCommandBuffer>) +60
MTLDispatchListApply +52
```
Release Notes:
- Removed "Toggle Graphics Profiler" as it crashes too much.
Release Notes:
- Added `workspace::SendKeystrokes` to enable mapping from one key to a
sequence of others
([#7033](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/7033)).
Improves #7033. Big thank you to @ConradIrwin who did most of the heavy
lifting on this one.
This PR allows the user to send multiple keystrokes via custom
keybinding. For example, the following keybinding would go down four
lines and then right four characters.
```json
[
{
"context": "Editor && VimControl && !VimWaiting && !menu",
"bindings": {
"g z": [
"workspace::SendKeystrokes",
"j j j j l l l l"
],
}
}

Depends on https://github.com/zed-industries/font-kit/pull/2 and
https://github.com/kvark/blade/pull/77
This change enables Blade to be also used on MacOS. It will also make it
easier to use it on Windows.
What works: most of the things. Zed loads as fast and appears equally
responsive to the current renderer.
<img width="306" alt="Screenshot 2024-02-11 at 12 09 15 AM"
src="https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/assets/107301/66d82f45-5ea2-4e2b-86c6-5b3ed333c827">
Things missing:
- [x] video streaming. ~~Requires a bit of plumbing on both Blade and
Zed sides, but all fairly straightforward.~~
- verified with a local setup
- [x] resize. ~~Not sure where exactly to hook up the reaction on the
window size change. Once we know where, the fix is one line.~~
- [ ] fine-tune CA Layer
- this isn't a blocker for merging the PR, but it would be a blocker if
we wanted to switch to the new path by default
- [ ] rebase on latest, get the dependency merged (need review/merge of
https://github.com/zed-industries/font-kit/pull/2!)
Update: I implemented resize support as well as "surface" rendering on
the Blade path (which will be useful on Linux/Windows later on). I
haven't tested the latter though - not sure how to get something
streaming. Would appreciate some help! I don't think this should be a
blocker to this PR, anyway.
The only little piece that's missing for the Blade on MacOS path to be
full-featured is fine-tuning the CALayer configuration. Zed does a lot
of careful logic in configuring the layer, such as switching the
"present with transaction" on/off intermittently, which Blade path
doesn't have yet.

On macOS, this will enable or disable the Metal HUD at runtime. Note
that this only works when Zed is bundled because it requires to set the
`MetalHudEnabled` key in the Info.plist.
Release Notes:
- Added a new `ToggleGraphicsProfiler` command that can be used as an
action (or via the `Help -> Toggle Graphics Profiler` menu) to
investigate graphics performance.
Release Notes:
- Fixed a bug that caused Zed to render at 60fps even on ProMotion
displays.
- Fixed a bug that could saturate the main thread event loop in certain
circumstances.

This PR changes our approach to initializing the `SystemAppearance` so
that we can do it earlier in the startup process.
Previously we were using the appearance from the window, meaning that we
couldn't initialize the value until we first opened the window.
Now we read the `window_appearance` from the `AppContext`. On macOS this
is backed by the
[`effectiveAppearance`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsapplication/2967171-effectiveappearance)
on the `NSApplication`.
We currently still watch for changes to the appearance at the window
level, as the only hook I could find in the documentation is
[`viewDidChangeEffectiveAppearance`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsview/2977088-viewdidchangeeffectiveappearance),
which is at the `NSView` level.
In my testing this makes it so Zed appropriately chooses the correct
light/dark theme on startup.

This re-introduces the changes of #7305 but this time we create a
display link using the `NSScreen` associated with the window. We're
hoping we'll get these frame requests more reliably, and this seems
supported by the fact that awakening my laptop restores the frame
requests.
Release Notes:
- See #7305.
