Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/38690 Closes #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).

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 specifiederror for a crate you've created? If so, addpublish = falseunder[package]in your crate's Cargo.toml. - Is the error
failed to satisfy license requirementsfor 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 theacceptedarray inscript/licenses/zed-licenses.toml. - Is
cargo-aboutunable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end ofscript/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
