Kirill Bulatov ed5b9a4705 Rework inlay hints system (#40183)

Before, each editor, even if it's the same buffer split in 2, was
querying for inlay hints separately, and storing the whole inlay hint
twice, in `Editor`'s `display_map` and its `inlay_hint_cache` fields.

Now, instead of `inlay_hint_cache`, each editor maintains a minimal set
of metadata (which area was queried by what task) instead, and all LSP
inlay hint data had been moved into `LspStore`, both local and remote
flavors store the data.
This allows Zed, as long as a buffer is open, to reuse the inlay hint
data similar to how document colors and code lens are now stored and
reused.

Unlike other reused LSP data, inlay hints data is the first one that's
possible to query by document ranges and previous version had issue with
caching and invalidating such ranges already queried for.
The new version re-approaches this by chunking the file into row ranges,
which are queried based on the editors' visible area.

Among the corresponding refactoring, one notable difference in inlays
display are multi buffers: buffers in them are not
[registered](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/lsp/3.17/specification/#textDocument_didOpen)
in the language server until a caret/selection is placed inside their
excerpts inside the multi buffer.

New inlays code does not query language servers for unregistered
buffers, as servers usually respond with empty responses or errors in
such cases.

Release Notes:

- Reworked inlay hints to be less error-prone
