workspace: Improve recent projects picker for multi-project scenario (#48989)
Follow-up to https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/46641.

In the PR linked above, I had introduced a dropdown that'd show up in
the title bar when the workspace contained more than one project.
Although that helped improve the multi-project use case, it created some
quirky designs:

- The project dropdown and the recent project pickers looked too
different from one another
- The transition between the 2 project case to the 1 project scenario,
from the dropdown, was not great, because you'd be then seeing the
bigger recent projects picker
- The `workspace: switch project` action was still reachable in the
command palette even if you had one project in the workspace

So, what this PR does is essentially fixing all of this by consolidating
it all in the Recent Projects picker. If you are in a multi-project
scenario, the picker will display a section with all of the projects on
the workspace allowing you to activate each one of them. The picker also
looks simpler when you reach it by clicking on the project name in the
title bar, as opposed to through the keybinding. I've then removed the
project dropdown code as well as the action, given we don't need them
anymore due to the consolidation. Lastly, I tackled the inconsistent
wording used between "Folders", "Projects", and "Workspaces".

Here's the result:

- Workspace: Improved the recent projects picker by making it also
display active projects in case of a multi-project workspace.

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.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
