Make `resolve_full_path` use the appropriate separators, and return a
`String`.
As part of fixing the fallout from that type change, this also fixes a
bunch of places in the agent code that were using `std::path::Path`
operations on paths that could be non-local, by changing them to operate
instead on strings and use the project's `PathStyle`.
This clears the way a bit for making `full_path` also return a string
instead of a `PathBuf`, but I've left that for a follow-up.

Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/38690Closes#37353
### Background
On Windows, paths are normally separated by `\`, unlike mac and linux
where they are separated by `/`. When editing code in a project that
uses a different path style than your local system (e.g. remoting from
Windows to Linux, using WSL, and collaboration between windows and unix
users), the correct separator for a path may differ from the "native"
separator.
Previously, to work around this, Zed converted paths' separators in
numerous places. This was applied to both absolute and relative paths,
leading to incorrect conversions in some cases.
### Solution
Many code paths in Zed use paths that are *relative* to either a
worktree root or a git repository. This PR introduces a dedicated type
for these paths called `RelPath`, which stores the path in the same way
regardless of host platform, and offers `Path`-like manipulation APIs.
RelPath supports *displaying* the path using either separator, so that
we can display paths in a style that is determined at runtime based on
the current project.
The representation of absolute paths is left untouched, for now.
Absolute paths are different from relative paths because (except in
contexts where we know that the path refers to the local filesystem)
they should generally be treated as opaque strings. Currently we use a
mix of types for these paths (std::path::Path, String, SanitizedPath).

When we refactored settings to not pass JSON blobs around, we ended up
needing
to write *a lot* of code that just merged things (like json merge used
to do).
Use a derive macro to prevent typos in this logic.

Release Notes:
- settings: Major internal changes to settings. The primary user-facing
effect is that some settings which did not make sense in project
settings files are no-longer read from there. (For example the inline
blame settings)

This is for both ACP and the regular agent. Previously we would always
include the whole file, which can easily blow the context window on huge
files.
Release Notes:
- When `@mention`ing large files, the Agent Panel now send an outline of
the file instead of the whole thing.
For read_file and edit_file, show the worktree-relative path if there's
only one visible worktree, and the "full path" otherwise. Also restores
the display of line numbers for read_file calls.

We were rendering a Markdown link like `[Read file x.rs (lines
Y-Z)](@selection)` while the tool ran, but then switching to just `x.rs`
as soon as we got the file location from the tool call (due to an
if/else in the UI code that applies to all tools). This caused a
flicker, which is fixed by having `initial_title` return just the
filename from the input as it arrives instead of a link that we're going
to stop rendering almost immediately anyway.
Release Notes:
- N/A
schemars was passing along the newlines from the doc comments. This
should make these closer to the markdown file versions we had in the old
agent.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This just prepares the types so that it will be easy later to update a
tool call with a terminal entity. We paused because we realized we want
to simplify how terminals are created in zed, and so that warrants a
dedicated pull request that can be reviewed in isolation.
