lsp: Update root_path for compatibility with language servers (#48587)
This PR updates the deprecated `rootPath` field in the LSP
`InitializeParams` for backwards compatibility with language servers
that still rely on this field.

### Issue

Some language servers (notably the Salesforce Apex Language Server) only
read from the deprecated `rootPath` field in the LSP initialize request
and do not use `rootUri` or `workspaceFolders`.

When Zed sends `root_path: None`, these language servers fail to
initialize because they cannot determine the workspace root.

Example error from the Apex Language Server:
```
NullPointerException
  at apex.jorje.lsp.impl.db.nddb.NdApexIndex.getToolsStoragePath(NdApexIndex.java:723)
```

The Apex LSP's initialize handler does:
```java
serverSetup.setRootPath(params.getRootPath());
```

VSCode's LanguageClient sends both `rootPath` and `rootUri` for
backwards compatibility:

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-languageserver-node/blob/main/client/src/common/client.ts#L1434

### Fix

Derive `rootPath` from the existing `root_uri` field when building the
initialize params. The LSP spec states that if both `rootPath` and
`rootUri` are provided, `rootUri` wins, so this change should be
backwards compatible and won't affect language servers that properly use
`rootUri`<sup>(1)</sup>.


---

(1) [LSP Specification -
InitializeParams](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/lsp/3.17/specification/#initializeParams)
- notes that `rootPath` is deprecated in favor of `workspaceFolders`,
but for backwards compatibility it should still be provided when
possible.


Release Notes:

- Improved compatibility with legacy language servers

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.
