## Overview
This PR adds the minimap feature to the Zed editor, closely following
the [design from Visual Studio
Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/userinterface#_minimap).
When configured, a second instance of the editor will appear to the left
of the scrollbar. This instance is not interactive and it has a slimmed
down set of annotations, but it is otherwise just a zoomed-out version
of the main editor instance. A thumb shows the line boundaries of the
main viewport, as well as the progress through the document. Clicking on
a section of code in the minimap will jump the editor to that code.
Dragging the thumb will act like the scrollbar, moving sequentially
through the document.
## New settings
This adds a `minimap` section to the editor settings with the following
keys:
### `show`
When to show the minimap in the editor.
This setting can take three values:
1. Show the minimap if the editor's scrollbar is visible: `"auto"`
2. Always show the minimap: `"always"`
3. Never show the minimap: `"never"` (default)
### `thumb`
When to show the minimap thumb.
This setting can take two values:
1. Show the minimap thumb if the mouse is over the minimap: `"hover"`
2. Always show the minimap thumb: `"always"` (default)
### `width`
The width of the minimap in pixels.
Default: `100`
### `font_size`
The font size of the minimap in pixels.
Default: `2`
