Add completions.lsp_insert_mode setting to control what ranges are replaced when a completion is inserted (#27453)

This PR adds `completions.lsp_insert_mode` and effectively changes the
default from `"replace"` to `"replace_suffix"`, which automatically
detects whether to use the LSP `replace` range instead of `insert`
range.

`"replace_suffix"` was chosen as a default because it's more
conservative than `"replace_subsequence"`, considering that deleting
text is usually faster and less disruptive than having to rewrite a long
replaced word.

Fixes #27197
Fixes #23395 (again)
Fixes #4816 (again)

Release Notes:

- Added new setting `completions.lsp_insert_mode` that changes what will
be replaced when an LSP completion is accepted. The default is
`"replace_suffix"`, but it accepts 4 values: `"insert"` for replacing
only the text before the cursor, `"replace"` for replacing the whole
text, `"replace_suffix"` that acts like `"replace"` when the text after
the cursor is a suffix of the completion, and `"replace_subsequence"`
that acts like `"replace"` when the text around your cursor is a
subsequence of the completion (similiar to a fuzzy match). Check [the
documentation](https://zed.dev/docs/configuring-zed#LSP-Insert-Mode) for
more information.

// Controls what range to replace when accepting LSP completions.
//
// When LSP servers give an `InsertReplaceEdit` completion, they provides two ranges: `insert` and `replace`. Usually, `insert`
// contains the word prefix before your cursor and `replace` contains the whole word.
//
// Effectively, this setting just changes whether Zed will use the received range for `insert` or `replace`, so the results may
// differ depending on the underlying LSP server.
//
// Possible values:
// 1. "insert"
// Replaces text before the cursor, using the `insert` range described in the LSP specification.
// 2. "replace"
// Replaces text before and after the cursor, using the `replace` range described in the LSP specification.
// 3. "replace_subsequence"
// Behaves like `"replace"` if the text that would be replaced is a subsequence of the completion text,
// and like `"insert"` otherwise.
// 4. "replace_suffix"
// Behaves like `"replace"` if the text after the cursor is a suffix of the completion, and like
// `"insert"` otherwise.
