Fix ghost project when selecting remote project group (#59272)
# Objective

Fixes #54882:

When selecting a project group that has a remote host (SSH, WSL, Docker)
from the window project picker, or when closing/removing a workspace
with a remote neighbor group, the code was unconditionally calling
find_or_create_local_workspace. This created a local project with the
remote server's paths, producing a 'ghost' project where language
servers and file watchers fail trying to access paths that don't exist
locally.

## Solution

Three locations fixed:

1. RecentProjectsDelegate::confirm (recent_projects.rs) - window project
picker selecting a ProjectGroup entry. Routes to
find_or_create_workspace with connect_with_modal for remote hosts.

2. MultiWorkspace::close_workspace (multi_workspace.rs) - closing a
workspace whose neighboring group is remote. Falls through to the empty
workspace fallback instead of creating a ghost project.

3. MultiWorkspace::remove_project_group (multi_workspace.rs) - removing
a project group whose neighbor is remote. Same fallback.

All three detect remoteness via key.host().is_some() and skip
find_or_create_local_workspace when set.

Includes regression tests for all three paths using mock remote
connections.

## Testing

- Not yet tested with a custom build
- Unit tests added

Licensing

Zed source code is licensed primarily under GPL-3.0-or-later, with Apache-2.0 components where marked.

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.
