Previously, each window stored its own collection of focus handles. This
meant that to create a focus handle, you needed to have access to a
Window. I'm working on a simplification to gpui's context types that
removes `WindowContext` and `ViewContext` in favor of passing a window
reference explicitly when rendering or handling events. You'll still
need a window to manipulate focus, but it will be helpful to be able to
create focus handles without a window.

A minor thing I've spotted and decided to fix on the spot.
It was being cloned twice within the body of that function (one of which
was redundant even without this PR); now in most cases we go down from 2
clones to 0.

This pull request introduces a new `markdown` crate which is capable of
parsing and rendering a Markdown source. One of the key additions is
that it enables text selection within a `Markdown` view. Eventually,
this will replace `RichText` but for now the goal is to use it in the
assistant revamped assistant in the spirit of making progress.

Note that this pull request doesn't yet use the new markdown renderer in
`assistant2`. This is because we need to modify the assistant before
slotting in the new renderer and I wanted to merge this independently of
those changes.

We're planning to associate "selection sources" with global element ids
to allow arbitrary UI text to be selected in GPUI. Previously, global
ids were not exposed outside the framework and we entangled management
of the element id stack with element state access. This was more
acceptable when element state was the only place we used global element
ids, but now that we're planning to use them more places, it makes sense
to deal with element identity as a first-class part of the element
system. We now ensure that the stack of element ids which forms the
current global element id is correctly managed in every phase of element
layout and paint and make the global id available to each element
method. In a subsequent PR, we'll use the global element id as part of
implementing arbitrary selection for UI text.

The new `ElementContext` was originally introduced to ensure the element
APIs could only be used inside of elements. Unfortunately, there were
many places where some of those APIs needed to be used, so
`WindowContext::with_element_context` was introduced, which defeated the
original safety purposes of having a specific context for elements.
This pull request merges `ElementContext` into `WindowContext` and adds
(debug) runtime checks to APIs that can only be used during certain
phases of element drawing.

This pull request introduces the new
`ElementContext::request_autoscroll(bounds)` and
`ElementContext::take_autoscroll()` methods in GPUI. These new APIs
enable container elements such as `List` to change their scroll position
if one of their children requested an autoscroll. We plan to use this in
the revamped assistant.
As a drive-by, we also:
- Renamed `Element::before_layout` to `Element::request_layout`
- Renamed `Element::after_layout` to `Element::prepaint`
- Introduced a new `List::splice_focusable` method to splice focusable
elements into the list, which enables rendering offscreen elements that
are focused.

### 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.
