editor: Add actions to move between comment paragraphs (#58353)
Jump the caret straight to the next/previous block of prose comments —
like paragraph motion, but for comments.

The motivating workflow: reflowing a file's comments with `editor:
rewrap`. Today that means reaching for the mouse to click into each
comment block scattered through the file, or using other cursor motions
and undershooting or overshooting the target. With these two actions you
can step from one comment paragraph to the next, `rewrap`, and repeat —
reflowing every comment in a file without ever touching the mouse. It's
also handy for skimming a heavily-documented file: hop from doc comment
to doc comment without manually scrolling past the code in between.

Adds two editor actions:

- `editor::MoveToNextCommentParagraph`
- `editor::MoveToPreviousCommentParagraph`

Both move the caret to the first non-whitespace character of the
next/previous *comment paragraph*. They have no default keybinding and
are available from the command palette ("editor: move to next/previous
comment paragraph").

### What counts as a comment paragraph

A comment paragraph is a run of consecutive comment lines. A line is a
comment line when its **first non-whitespace character is in a `comment`
syntax scope** and the line contains prose (at least one alphanumeric
character). This is determined from the syntax tree
(`language_scope_at(...).override_name()`), the same mechanism `rewrap`
and comment folding already use, so it behaves correctly without
per-language string matching:

- **End-of-line comments preceded by code are ignored** — on `let x = 1;
// note` the first non-whitespace character is code, not a comment, so
the line is not a paragraph line.
- **`//` inside a string literal is ignored** — its scope is `string`,
not `comment`.
- **Blank/divider comment lines separate paragraphs** — a bare `//` or
`// -----` (no prose) acts as a separator, so you can hop between
paragraphs *within* one comment block as well as across blocks.

Both directions always move to a paragraph *other* than the one the
caret is in: when the caret is inside a paragraph, the whole current
paragraph is skipped, so `Prev` lands on the previous paragraph's start
rather than the current paragraph's own start.

### On the autoscroll

These two actions scroll the destination near the top of the viewport
(`Autoscroll::top_relative`) rather than using the default `Fit`
strategy that sibling motions use. This is deliberate and specific to
the feature: you are jumping to the **start** of a comment paragraph
that extends *downward*, so biasing the destination toward the top keeps
the whole paragraph visible after the jump. This matters for the rewrap
workflow above — you want to see the full comment you are about to
reflow, and the reflow itself changes the paragraph's line count. With
the default `Fit`, repeated forward jumps creep the caret to the bottom
edge and leave long paragraphs cut off below the fold — the opposite of
what this motion is for. Happy to revisit the exact strategy/offset if
you'd prefer consistency with the other motions.

### Tests

Two tests in `editor_tests.rs` (using a real grammar + comment override
query):

- `test_move_to_next_and_previous_comment_paragraph` — full
forward/backward round trip, covering blank comment-line separators,
code separators, trailing comments, and the no-more-paragraphs stop.
- `test_move_to_previous_comment_paragraph_skips_current_paragraph` —
`Prev` from mid-paragraph skips to the previous paragraph, and stays put
when there is no previous paragraph.

Self-Review Checklist:

- [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability
- [x] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments — N/A, no unsafe
- [x] The content is consistent with the UI/UX checklist
- [x] Tests cover the new/changed behavior
- [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable

Release Notes:

- Added `editor::MoveToNextCommentParagraph` and
`editor::MoveToPreviousCommentParagraph` actions to move the caret
between comment paragraphs

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.
