### 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 :)

When a view is invalidated, we want to participate in Taffy layout with
an accurate style rather than the dummy style we use when a view is
cached. Previously, we only detected invalidation during paint. This
adds logic to layout as well to avoid using the dummy style when dirty.

This PR updates the tenses used by the summary line of doc comments to
match the [Rust API documentation
conventions](https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/1574-more-api-documentation-conventions.html#summary-sentence).
Specifically:
> The summary line should be written in third person singular present
indicative form. Basically, this means write ‘Returns’ instead of
‘Return’.
I'm sure there are plenty occurrences that I missed.

This commit mostly fixes invalid URLs in docstrings. It also
encapsulates crates we reexport (serde stuff + linkme) into a public
module named "private" in order to reduce the API surfaced through docs.
Moreover, I fixed up a bunch of crates that were pulling serde_json in
through gpui explicitly instead of using Cargo manifest.
Release Notes:
- N/A
