Partially addresses #11473
MVP of dev containers with the following capabilities:
- If in a project with `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json`, a pop-up
notification will ask if you want to open the project in a dev
container. This can be dismissed:

/>
- Similarly, if a `devcontainer.json` file is in the project, you can
open a devcontainer (or go the devcontainer.json file for further
editing) via the `open remote` modal:

*Limitations*
This is a first release, and comes with some limitations:
- Zed extensions are not managed in `devcontainer.json` yet. They will
need to be installed either on host or in the container. Host +
Container sync their extensions, so there is not currently a concept of
what is installed in the container vs what is installed on host: they
come from the same list of manifests
- This implementation uses the [devcontainer
CLI](https://github.com/devcontainers/cli) for its control plane. Hence,
it does not yet support the `forwardPorts` directive. A single port can
be opened with `appPort`. See reference in docs
[here](https://github.com/devcontainers/cli/tree/main/example-usage#how-the-tool-examples-work)
- Editing devcontainer.json does not automatically cause the dev
container to be rebuilt. So if you add features, change images, etc, you
will need to `docker kill` the existing dev container before proceeding.
- Currently takes a hard dependency on `docker` being available in the
user's `PATH`.
Release Notes:
- Added ability to Open a project in a DevContainer, provided a
`.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` is present

We've had several outages with a proximate cause of "vercel is
complicated",
and auto-update is considered a critical feature; so lets not use vercel
for
that.
Release Notes:
- Auto Updates (and remote server binaries) are now downloaded via
https://cloud.zed.dev instead of https://zed.dev. As before, these URLs
redirect to the GitHub release for actual downloads.

Worktree creations are implemented similar to how branch creations are
handled on the branch picker (the user types a new name that's not on
the list and a new entry option appears to create a new branch with that
name).
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/39e58983-740c-4a91-be88-57ef95aed85b
With this picker you have a few workflows:
- Open the picker and type the name of a branch that's checked out on an
existing worktree:
- Press enter to open the worktree on a new window
- Press ctrl-enter to open the worktree and replace the current window
- Open the picker and type the name of a new branch or an existing one
that's not checked out in another worktree:
- Press enter to create the worktree and open in a new window. If the
branch doesn't exists, we will create a new one based on the branch you
have currently checked out. If the branch does exists then we create a
worktree with that branch checked out.
- Press ctrl-enter to do everything on the previous point but instead,
replace the current window with the new worktre.
- Open the picker and type the name of a new branch or an existing one
that's not checked out in another worktree:
- If a default branch is detected on the repo, you can create a new
worktree based on that branch by pressing ctrl-enter or
ctrl-shift-enter. The first one will open a new window and the last one
will replace the current one.
Note: If you preffer to not use the system prompt for choosing a
directory, you can set `"use_system_path_prompts": false` in zed
settings.
Release Notes:
- Added git worktree picker to open a git worktree on a new window or
replace the current one
- Added git worktree creation action

Before this change the active theme and icon theme were retrofitted onto
the ThemeSettings.
Now they're in their own new global (GlobalTheme::theme(cx) and
GlobalTheme::icon_theme(cx))
This lets us remove cx from the settings traits, and tidy up a few other
things along the way.
Release Notes:
- N/A
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 PR separates out the associated constant `KEY` from the `Settings`
trait into a new trait `SettingsKey`. This allows for the key trait to
be derived using attributes to specify the path so that the new
`SettingsUi` derive macro can use the same attributes to determine top
level settings paths thereby removing the need to duplicate the path in
both `Settings::KEY` and `#[settings_ui(path = "...")]`

This PR fixes an issue where extension operations would never show in
the activity indicator despite this being implemented for ages. This
happened because we were always returning `None` whenever the app has a
global auto updater, which is always the case, so the code path for
showing extension updates in the indicator could never be hit despite
existing prior. Also slightly improves the messages shown for ongoing
extension operations, as these were previously context unaware.
While I was at this, I also quickly took a stab at cleaning up some
remotely related stuff, namely:
- The `AnimationExt` trait is now by default only implemented for
anything that also implements `IntoElement`. This prevents
`with_animation` from showing up for e.g. `u32` within the suggestions
(finally).
- Commonly used animations are now implemented in the
`CommonAnimationExt` trait within the `ui` crate so the needed code does
not always need to be copied and element IDs for the animations are
truly unique.
Relevant change here regarding the original issue is the change from the
`return match` to just a `match` within the activitiy indicator, which
solved the issue at hand.
If we find this to be too noisy at some point, we can easily revisit,
but I think this holds important enough information to be shown in the
activity indicator, especially whilst developing extensions.
Release Notes:
- Extension installation and updates will now be shown in the activity
indicator.
Closes #ISSUE
Initially, the `SettingsUi` trait was tied to `Settings`, however, given
that the `Settings::FileContent` type (which may be the same as the type
that implements `Settings`) will be the type that more directly maps to
the JSON structure (and therefore have the documentation, correct field
names (or `serde` rename attributes), etc) it makes more sense to have
the deriving of `SettingsUi` occur on the `FileContent` type rather than
the `Settings` type.
In order for this to work a relatively important change had to be made
to the derive macro, that being that it now "unwraps" options into their
inner type, so a field with type `Option<Foo>` where `Foo: SettingsUi`
will treat the field as if it were just `Foo`, expecting there to be a
default set in `default.json`. This imposes some restrictions on what
`Settings::FileContent` can be as seen in 1e19398 where `FileContent`
itself can't be optional without manually implementing `SettingsUi`, as
well as introducing some risk that if the `FileContent` type has
`serde(default)`, the default value will override the default value from
`default.json` in the UI even though it may differ (but it should!).
A future PR should probably replace the other settings with `FileContent
= Option<T>` (all of which currently have `T == bool`) with wrapper
structs and have `KEY = None` so the further niceties
`derive(SettingsUi)` will provide such as path renaming, custom UI, auto
naming and doc comment extraction can be used.
