Vasyl Protsiv 138286f3b1 sum_tree: Make SumTree::append run in logarithmic time (#43349)
The `SumTree::append` method is slow when appending large trees to small
trees. The reason is this code here:

https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/f57f4cd3607e8298ef5f1b29929df2db0185d826/crates/sum_tree/src/sum_tree.rs#L628-L630

`append` is called recursively until `self` and `other` have the same
height, effectively making this code `O(log^2 n)` in the number of
leaves of `other` tree in the worst case.

There are no algorithmic reasons why appending large trees must be this
much slower.

This PR proves it by providing implementation of `append` that works in
logarithmic time regardless if `self` is smaller or larger than `other`.

The helper method `append_large` has the symmetric logic to
`push_tree_recursive` but moves the (unlikely) case of merging
underflowing node in a separate helper function to reduce stack usage. I
am a bit unsure about some implementation choices made in
`push_tree_recursive` and would like to discuss some of these later, but
at the moment I didn't change anything there and tried to follow the
same logic in `append_large`.

We might also consider adding `push_front`/`prepend` methods to
`SumTree`.

I did not find a good benchmark that covers this case so I added a new
one to rope benchmarks.

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 specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for 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 the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
