markdown: Fix the --- separators being parsed as YAML metadata blocks (#64162)
# Objective

Fixes #64159

`ENABLE_YAML_STYLE_METADATA_BLOCKS` is enabled for the whole document
whenever metadata rendering is on. pulldown-cmark then treats any
unindented `---` line followed later by another `---` as a metadata
block, so ordinary section separators in Markdown Preview and the Agent
Panel swallowed the text between them and rendered it as a code-style
box.

## Solution

Frontmatter only exists at the start of a file, so the parser now:

- probes with the YAML option only when the document starts with `---`,
and keeps the first block if pulldown-cmark reports a YAML metadata
block there;
- parses the rest of the document with the YAML option off;
- shifts the body's event ranges and link definition spans back to
offsets in the original text.

## Testing

- `test_yaml_frontmatter_does_not_consume_body`: frontmatter in LF,
CRLF, and `...`-closed forms, and none at all. Checks that both body
separators are rules, the section between them keeps its heading, bold
text, and reference link, and that every event range and heading offset
still points into the original text.
- `test_body_separators_are_not_yaml_metadata`: parsing with metadata
rendering on and off must give identical results for separators in the
body, inside a blockquote, inside a list item, and after a leading blank
line.

## Self-Review Checklist:

- [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability
- [x] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments
- [x] The content adheres to Zed's UI standards
([UX/UI](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist)
and
[icon](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/crates/icons/README.md)
guidelines)
- [x] Tests cover the new/changed behavior
- [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable

## Showcase
The theme differs in the two screenshots because the "After" one was
taken in a local dev build with default settings.
Only the rendering of the `---` sections is relevant.

Before:

After:

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d616c46c-95cc-408d-99a1-70f1f8d3c4b4"
/>

---

Release Notes:

- Fixed Markdown Preview and the Agent Panel rendering the text between
two `---` separators as a YAML metadata block.

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.
