linux: Fix keyboard events not working on first start in X11 (#36224)
Closes #29083

On X11, `ibus-x11` crashes on some distros after Zed interacts with it.
This is not unique to Zed, `xim-rs` shows the same behavior, and there
are similar upstream `ibus` reports with apps like Blender:

- https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2697

I opened an upstream issue to track this:

- https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2789

When this crash happens, we don’t get a disconnect event, so Zed keeps
sending events to the IM server and waits for a response. It works on
subsequent starts because IM server doesn't exist now and we default to
non-XIM path.

This PR detects the crash via X11 events and falls back to the non-XIM
path so typing keeps working. We still need to investigate whether the
root cause is in `xim-rs` or `ibus-x11`.

Release Notes:

- Fixed an issue on X11 where keyboard input sometimes didn’t work on
first start.

Licensing

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
