Deduplicate worktree entries from LSP paths with mismatched casing (#61392)
# Objective

On case-insensitive volumes (the macOS default), language servers may
return `Location` URIs whose path casing differs from the worktree's
stored casing - e.g. `Utils/helpers.py` when the on-disk (and worktree)
path is `utils/helpers.py`. `LspStore::open_local_buffer_via_lsp` used
the LSP path verbatim, and worktree selection
(`WorktreeStore::find_worktree`) does a case-sensitive prefix match, so
the existing worktree was either missed (creating a duplicate invisible
worktree) or matched but with a relative path that retained the LSP's
intermediate-component casing. That relative path was then used to
`load_file`, which inserted a brand-new `Entry` keyed by the
differently-cased path alongside the existing one - producing duplicate
file entries in the project panel. This was most visible when navigating
Python imports (Go to Definition) where the LSP returned
differently-cased paths.

## Solution

Canonicalize the LSP-provided absolute path via `fs.canonicalize` before
the worktree lookup in `LspStore::open_local_buffer_via_lsp`, so the
path casing matches the filesystem and the existing worktree/entry is
reused. Canonicalization failures (e.g. a path that doesn't exist on
disk yet) fall back to the original path to preserve prior behavior.

To enable testing this on a fake filesystem, `FakeFs` now supports
`set_case_sensitive(false)` and its `canonicalize` resolves names
case-insensitively, returning the stored (canonical) casing.

## Testing

Added `test_open_buffer_via_lsp_case_variant_no_duplicate` in
`crates/project/tests/integration/lsp_store.rs`. It opens a buffer via
an LSP URI with differently-cased intermediate component
(`/root/SRC/main.rs` vs `/root/src/main.rs`) on a case-insensitive
FakeFs and asserts that no differently-cased entry is created and the
canonical entry is preserved. Verified the test fails without the fix
(`SRC/main.rs` duplicate appears) and passes with it. Existing worktree,
fs, and project_panel test suites remain green.

Release Notes:

- Fixed duplicate file entries in the project panel on macOS when
navigating to definitions via the language server returned paths with
different casing than the worktree root.

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.
