Finn Evers ded6467604 Refactor the scrollbar component (#36105)
Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/37621
Improves https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/24623

Adding scrollbars withing Zed's UI currently is rather cumbersome, as it
requires the copying of a lot of code in order for these to work. Wiring
up settings for scrollbar visibilty always has to be done at the call
site and the state has to be saved and maintained by the caller as well.
Similarly, reserving space has to also be handled by the caller.

This PR changes the way scrollbars work in Zed fundamentally by making
use of the new `use_keyed_state` APIs: Instead of saving the state at
the call site, the window now keeps track of the state corresponding to
scrollbars. This enables us to add scrollbars with e.g. one simple call
on divs:
```rust
div()
    .vertical_scrollbar(window, cx)
```
will add a scrollbar to the corresponding container. There are some more
improvements regarding tracking of scrollbar visibility settings (which
is now handled by a trait for each setting that supports this) as well
as reserving space.
Additionally, all needed stuff for layouting, catching events and
reserving space is also now managed by the scrollbar component instead.
This drastically reduces the amount of event listeners and makes
layouting of two scrollbars easier.

Furthermore, this paves the way for more improvements to scrollbars,
such as graceful auto-hide. Only downsight here is that we lose some
customizability in a few areas. However, once this lands, we gain the
ability to quickly follow these up without breaking stuff elsewhere.

This also already fixes a few bugs:
- Scrollbars no longer flicker on first render. 
- Auto-hide now properly works for all scrollbars.
- If the content size changes, the scrollbar is updated on the same
frame. Both of these happened because we were computing the scrollbar
sizes too early, causing us to use the sizes from the previous frame or
unitialized sizes.
- The project panel no longer jumps if scrolled all the way to the
bottom and the scrollbar actually auto-hides.

Still TODO:
- [x] Fix scrolling in the debugger memory view
- [x] Clean up some more in the scrollbar component and reduce clones
there
- [x] Ensure we don't over-notify the entity the scrollbar is rendered
within
- [x] Make sure auto-hide properly works for all cases
- [x] Check whether we want to implement the scrollbar trait for
`UniformList`s as well
    - ~~ [ ] Use for uniformlist where possible~~ Postponed
- [x] Improve layout for cases where we render both scrollbars.

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.
