This PR increases the minimum required version to connect to Collab.
Previously this was set at v0.157.0.
The new minimum required version is v0.198.4, which is the first version
where we no longer connect to Collab automatically.
Clients on the v0.199.x minor version will also need to be v0.199.2 or
greater in order to connect, due to us hotfixing the connection changes
to the Preview branch.
We're doing this to force clients to upgrade in order to connect to
Collab, as we're going to be removing some of the old RPC usages related
to authentication that are no longer used. Therefore, we want users to
be on a version of Zed that does not rely on those messages.
Users will see a message similar to this one, prompting them to upgrade:

/>
> Note: In this case I'm simulating the error state, which is why I'm
signed in via Cloud while still not being able to connect to Collab.
Users on older versions will see the "Please update Zed to Collaborate"
message without being signed in.

https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/30972 brought up another
case where our context is not enough to track the actual source of the
issue: we get a general top-level error without inner error.
The reason for this was `.ok_or_else(|| anyhow!("failed to read HEAD
SHA"))?; ` on the top level.
The PR finally reworks the way we use anyhow to reduce such issues (or
at least make it simpler to bubble them up later in a fix).
On top of that, uses a few more anyhow methods for better readability.
* `.ok_or_else(|| anyhow!("..."))`, `map_err` and other similar error
conversion/option reporting cases are replaced with `context` and
`with_context` calls
* in addition to that, various `anyhow!("failed to do ...")` are
stripped with `.context("Doing ...")` messages instead to remove the
parasitic `failed to` text
* `anyhow::ensure!` is used instead of `if ... { return Err(...); }`
calls
* `anyhow::bail!` is used instead of `return Err(anyhow!(...));`

This reverts commit caed275fbf.
NOTE: this should not be merged until #9668 is on stable and the
`ZedVersion#can_collaborate` is updated to exclude all clients without
that change.

This PR extracts the `SemanticVersion` out of `util` and into its own
`SemanticVersion` crate.
This allows for making use of `SemanticVersion` without needing to pull
in some of the heavier dependencies included in the `util` crate.
As part of this the public API for `SemanticVersion` has been tidied up
a bit.
Release Notes:

We made a change last week to allow creating files with names. This
means some files have null saved_mtime, which old versions of zed panic
on.
A fix is available in 0.126.3 and above
