editor: Add preserve scroll strategy for go to definition (#55036)
These changes attempt to expand on the work introduced by
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/54778 by introducing a new
`GoToDefinitionScrollStrategy::Preserve` variant that attempts to keep
the cursor at the same vertical offset within the viewport when
navigating to a definition.

Most of the machinery for this was already in place. To support cases
where the user's scroll position isn't snapped to an exact display row,
for example, after scrolling with the mmouse, `Autoscroll::TopRelative`
and `Autoscroll::BottomRelative` were updated from `usize` to
`ScrollOffset`, allowing fractional offsets.

When the cursor is offscreen at the moment the `editor: go to
definition` action is invoked, `Preserve` falls back to
`Autoscroll::center`, matching the existing default for
`go_to_definition_scroll_strategy`. This avoids attempting to preserve
an offset where the cursor isn't visible which would lead to the cursor
being offscreen when jumping to the definition.

Documentation has also been updated to reflect this new strategy value.

Release Notes:

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.
