Handle dynamic registration of semantic tokens capability (#60015)
In C# files nothing gets semantic highlighting — class fields and other
identifiers are colored by tree-sitter only, so a private field looks
the same as a plain local variable.

The reason: Roslyn (the C# language server) doesn't declare
`semanticTokensProvider` statically in its `initialize` response. It
registers it **dynamically** (`client/registerCapability`), and only
when the client advertises
`textDocument.semanticTokens.dynamicRegistration = true`. Zed advertised
`false` and didn't handle such a registration, so Roslyn never offered
semantic tokens at all. (rust-analyzer/gopls are unaffected — they
declare the capability statically.)

This is the first of two PRs. This one makes Roslyn actually **send**
semantic tokens. The companion PR (#60027) maps Roslyn's C#-specific
token types to theme styles — without it the tokens arrive but most are
dropped, since their types aren't in Zed's default rules.

## Solution

- Advertise `textDocument.semanticTokens.dynamicRegistration = true`.
- Handle the `textDocument/semanticTokens` registration and
unregistration so the capability is stored, following the existing arms
for `documentLink`, diagnostics, etc.

## Testing

- Added a test that dynamically registers and unregisters
`textDocument/semanticTokens` and checks the stored capability appears
and is cleared.
- Verified manually against Roslyn on a C# project: Zed now sends
`textDocument/semanticTokens/full` and gets tokens back; before this
change there was no semantic-token traffic at all.

## Self-Review Checklist:

- [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability
- [x] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments
- [x] Tests cover the new/changed behavior
- [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable

---

Release Notes:

- Support dynamic registration of the `textDocument/semanticTokens`
capability.

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.
