This PR updates the name of the `NewSessionModal` to `NewProcessModal`
(to reflect it's new purpose), changes the tabs in the modal to read
`Run | Debug | Attach | Launch` and changes the associated types in code
to match the tabs. In addition, this PR adds a few labels to the text
fields in the `Launch` tab, and adds a link to open the associated
settings file. In both debug.json files, added links to the zed.dev
debugger docs.
Release Notes:
- Debugger Beta: Improve the new process modal
Release Notes:
- Debugger Beta: added a button to the quick action bar to start a debug
session or spawn a task, depending on which of these actions was taken
most recently.
- Debugger Beta: incorporated the tasks modal into the new session modal
as an additional tab.

Add `(child)` instead of using the same label.
Release Notes:
- Debugger Beta: Made child sessions appear distinct from their parents
in the session selector.

This works the same as selecting the first history match in the new
session modal.
Release Notes:
- Debugger Beta: Added the `debugger: rerun last session` action, bound
by default to `alt-f4`.
- Make remembering focus work with `ActivatePaneDown` as well
- Tone down the console's focus-in behavior so clicking doesn't
misbehave

This PR allows DAPs to define their own schema so users can see
completion items when editing their debug.json files.
Users facing this aren’t the biggest chance, but behind the scenes, this
affected a lot of code because we manually translated common fields from
Zed's config format to be adapter-specific. Now we store the raw JSON
from a user's configuration file and just send that.
I'm ignoring the Protobuf CICD error because the DebugTaskDefinition
message is not yet user facing and we need to deprecate some fields in
it.
Release Notes:
- debugger beta: Show completion items when editing debug.json
- debugger beta: Breaking change, debug.json schema now relays on what
DAP you have selected instead of always having the same based values.

- Add missing handler for `debugger::Continue` so `f5` works
- Add bindings based on VS Code for `debugger::Restart` and
`debug_panel::ToggleFocus`
- Remove breakpoint-related buttons from the debug panel's top strip,
and surface the bindings for `editor::ToggleBreakpoint` in gutter
tooltip instead
Release Notes:
- Debugger Beta: Added keybindings for `debugger::Continue`,
`debugger::Restart`, and `debug_panel::ToggleFocus`.
- Debugger Beta: Removed breakpoint-related buttons from the top of the
debug panel.
- Compatibility note: on Linux, `ctrl-shift-d` is now bound to
`debug_panel::ToggleFocus` by default, instead of
`editor::DuplicateLineDown`.
Makes it possible to open and navigate these menus from the keyboard.
I also removed the eager previewing behavior for the thread picker,
which was buggy and came with a jarring layout shift.
Release Notes:
- Debugger Beta: Added the `debugger: open thread picker` and `debugger:
open session picker` actions.
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/30972 brought up another
case where our context is not enough to track the actual source of the
issue: we get a general top-level error without inner error.
The reason for this was `.ok_or_else(|| anyhow!("failed to read HEAD
SHA"))?; ` on the top level.
The PR finally reworks the way we use anyhow to reduce such issues (or
at least make it simpler to bubble them up later in a fix).
On top of that, uses a few more anyhow methods for better readability.
* `.ok_or_else(|| anyhow!("..."))`, `map_err` and other similar error
conversion/option reporting cases are replaced with `context` and
`with_context` calls
* in addition to that, various `anyhow!("failed to do ...")` are
stripped with `.context("Doing ...")` messages instead to remove the
parasitic `failed to` text
* `anyhow::ensure!` is used instead of `if ... { return Err(...); }`
calls
* `anyhow::bail!` is used instead of `return Err(anyhow!(...));`

- A loading icon is displayed while a scenario is being saved
- Saving a scenario doesn't take you to debug.json unless a user clicks
on the arrow icons that shows up after a successful save
- An error icon where show when a scenario fails to save

directory in the user's worktree

This PR simplifies the new session modal by flattening its three modes
and updating the UI to be less noisy. The new UI also defaults to the
Debug Scenario Picker, and allows users to save debug scenarios created
in the UI to the active worktree's .zed/debug.json file.
Release Notes:
- N/A
- Languages now define their preferred debuggers in `config.toml`.
- `LanguageRegistry` now exposes language config even for languages that
are not yet loaded. This necessitated extension registry changes (we now
deserialize config.toml of all language entries when loading new
extension index), but it should be backwards compatible with the old
format. /cc @maxdeviant

There were two bugs that caused user-defined debug scenarios from being
able to run a build task.
1. DebugRequest would be deserialized to `Attach` even when `process_id`
wasn't defined in a user's configuration file. This has been fixed by
adding our own deserializer that defaults to None if there are no fields
present instead of `Attach`, and I added tests to prevent regressions.
2. Debug scenario resolve phase never got the active buffer when
spawning a debug session from the new session modal. This has been
worked around by passing in the worktree_id of a debug scenario in the
scenario picker and the active worktree_id otherwise.

## Preview

### TODO
- [x] Add scenario picker to new session modal
- [x] Make debugger start action open new session modal instead of task
modal
- [x] Fix `esc` not clearing the cancelling the new session modal while
it's in scenario or attach mode
- [x] Resolve debug scenario's correctly
Release Notes:
- N/A
DebugSession.mode is no longer needed because project::debugger::Session
manages its own state now (booting, running, terminated), and removing
mode simplifies a lot of the code that uses running state.
I used Zed AI to do a good chunk of the refactor, but I doubled-checked
everything it did and changed a good amount of its updates.

Now all debug sessions are routed through the debug panel and are
started synchronously instead of by a task that returns a session once
the initialization process is finished. A session is `Mode::Booting`
while it's starting the debug adapter process and then transitions to
`Mode::Running` once this is completed.
This PR also added new tests for the dap logger, reverse start debugging
request, and debugging over SSH.

This PR adds a debug panel context menu that will allow a user to select
which debug session items are visible.
The context menu will add to the pane that was right clicked on.

The debug console will now show an indicator when it's unopened and
there's unread messages.
`NewSessionModal` attempts to resolve debug configurations before using
the config to start debugging. This allows users to use zed's task
variables in the modal prompt.
I had to invert tasks_ui dependency on debugger_ui so `NewSessionModal`
could get the correct `TaskContexts` by calling tasks_ui functions. A
consequence of this workspace has a new event `ShowAttachModal` that I'm
not a big fan of. @osiewicz if you have time could you please take a
look to see if there's a way around adding the event. I'm open to pair
on it too.

## Summary
### Actions
This PR implements actions that allow a user to "run to cursor" and
"evaluate selected text" while there's an active debug session and
exposes the functionality to the UI as well.
- Run to cursor: Can be accessed by right clicking on the gutter
- Evaluate selected text: Can be accessed by selecting text then right
clicking in the editor
### Bug fixes
I also fixed these bugs as well
- Panic when using debugger: Stop action
- Debugger actions command palette filter not working properly in all
cases
- We stopped displaying the correct label in the session's context menu
when a session was terminated

There were two bugs that caused the gdb adapter not to work properly,
one on our end and one their end.
The bug on our end was sending `stopOnEntry: null` in our launch request
when stop on entry had no value. I fixed that bug across all dap
adapters
The other bug had to do with python's "great" type system and how we
serialized our unit structs to json; mainly,
`ConfigurationDoneArguments` and `ThreadsArguments`. Gdb seems to follow
a pattern for handling requests where they pass `**args` to a function,
this errors out when the equivalent json is `"arguments": null`.
```py
@capability("supportsConfigurationDoneRequest")
@request("configurationDone", on_dap_thread=True)
def config_done(**args): ### BUG!!
