Nathan Sobo a7ce677ac3 Optimize terminal rendering when clipped by parent containers (#45537)
This brings the terminal element's viewport culling in line with the
editor optimization in PR #44995 and the fix in PR #45077.

## Problem

When a terminal is inside a scrollable container (e.g., the Agent Panel
thread view), it would render ALL cells during prepaint, even when the
terminal was entirely outside the viewport. This caused unnecessary CPU
usage when multiple terminal tool outputs existed in the Agent Panel.

## Solution

Calculate the intersection of the terminal's bounds with the current
content_mask (the visible viewport after all parent clipping). If the
intersection has zero area, skip all cell processing entirely.

### Three code paths

1. **Offscreen** (`intersection.size <= 0`): Early exit, process 0 cells
2. **Fully visible** (`intersection == bounds`): Fast path, stream cells
directly (no allocation)
3. **Partially clipped**: Group cells by line, skip/take visible rows
only

### Key insight: filter by screen position, not buffer coordinates

The previous approach tried to filter cells by `cell.point.line`
(terminal buffer coordinates), which breaks in Scrollable mode where
cells can have negative line numbers for scrollback history.

The new approach filters by **screen position** using
`chunk_by(line).skip(N).take(M)`, which works regardless of the actual
line numbers because we're filtering on enumerated line group index.

## Testing

Added comprehensive unit tests for:
- Screen-position filtering with positive lines (Inline mode)
- Screen-position filtering with negative lines (Scrollable mode with
scrollback)
- Edge cases (skip all, positioning math)
- Unified filtering works for both modes

Manually verified:
- Terminal fully visible (no clipping) ✓
- Terminal clipped from top/bottom ✓
- Terminal completely outside viewport ✓
- Scrollable terminals with scrollback history ✓
- Selection/interaction still works ✓

Release Notes:

- Improved Agent Panel performance when terminals are scrolled
offscreen.

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.
