Dino c894351544 vim: Fix change surrounding quotes with whitespace within (#37321)
This commit fixes a bug with Zed's vim mode surrounds plugin when
dealing with replacing pairs with quote and the contents between the
pairs had some whitespace within them.

For example, with the following string:

```
' str '
```

If one was to use the `cs'"` command, to replace single quotes with
double quotes, the result would actually be:

```
"str"
```

As the whitespace before and after the closing character was removed.

This happens because of the way the plugin decides whether to add or
remove whitespace after and before the opening and closing characters,
repsectively. For example, using `cs{[` yields a different result from
using `cs{]`, the former adds a space while the latter does not.

However, since for quotes the opening and closing character is exactly
the same, this behavior is not possible, so this commit updates the code
in `vim::surrounds::Vim.change_surrounds` so that it never adds or
removes whitespace when dealing with any type of quotes.

Closes #12247 

Release Notes:

- Fixed whitespace handling when changing surrounding pairs to quotes in
vim mode

This contains the code for Zed's Vim emulation mode.

Vim mode in Zed is supposed to primarily "do what you expect": it mostly tries to copy vim exactly, but will use Zed-specific functionality when available to make things smoother. This means Zed will never be 100% vim compatible, but should be 100% vim familiar!

The backlog is maintained in the #vim channel notes.

Testing against Neovim

If you are making a change to make Zed's behavior more closely match vim/nvim, you can create a test using the NeovimBackedTestContext.

For example, the following test checks that Zed and Neovim have the same behavior when running * in visual mode:

#[gpui::test]
async fn test_visual_star_hash(cx: &mut gpui::TestAppContext) {
    let mut cx = NeovimBackedTestContext::new(cx).await;

    cx.set_shared_state("ˇa.c. abcd a.c. abcd").await;
    cx.simulate_shared_keystrokes(["v", "3", "l", "*"]).await;
    cx.assert_shared_state("a.c. abcd ˇa.c. abcd").await;
}

To keep CI runs fast, by default the neovim tests use a cached JSON file that records what neovim did (see crates/vim/test_data), but while developing this test you'll need to run it with the neovim flag enabled:

cargo test -p vim --features neovim test_visual_star_hash

This will run your keystrokes against a headless neovim and cache the results in the test_data directory. Note that neovim must be installed and reachable on your $PATH in order to run the feature.

Testing zed-only behavior

Zed does more than vim/neovim in their default modes. The VimTestContext can be used instead. This lets you test integration with the language server and other parts of zed's UI that don't have a NeoVim equivalent.
