We can track the ranges in the input text that correspond to each column
and use this information during rendering to apply a new theme key that
makes the "active column" stand out. This makes it easier to tell at
a glance which column you're entering.
`Picker::new` loops through the input options to inject each of them, so
there's no need to collect into an intermediary Vec. This removes some
unnecessary collections. Also, pickers that start with no initial
options can now pass an empty slice instead of an empty Vec.

The `FileLocation` and `PathOrId` types can borrow paths rather than
requiring them to be owned. This takes a refactor of the preview
functions and preview internals within `Picker`. With this change we
avoid an unnecessary `PathBuf` clone per render for any picker with a
file preview function (i.e. most pickers).
This refactor is not fully complete. The `PathOrId` is _sometimes_ an
owned `PathBuf`. This is for pragmatic reasons rather than technical
ones. We need a further refactor to introduce more core types like
`Location` in order to eliminate the Cow and only use `&Path`s within
`PathOrId`. This is left for future work as it will be a larger refactor
almost entirely fitting into the LSP commands module and helix-core -
i.e. mostly unrelated to refactoring the `Picker` code itself.

This fixes the changed files picker when used against a clean worktree
for example. Without it the running indicator does not disappear. It
also simplifies the dynamic query handler's implementation so that it
doesn't need to request a redraw explicitly.

We could expand on this in the future to have different preview modes
that you can toggle between with C-t. Currently that binding just hides
the preview but it could switch between different preview modes and in
one mode hide the path and just show the line contents.
DynamicPicker is a thin wrapper over Picker that holds some additional
state, similar to the old FilePicker type. Like with FilePicker, we want
to fold the two types together, having Picker optionally hold that
extra state.
The DynamicPicker is a little more complicated than FilePicker was
though - it holds a query callback and current query string in state and
provides some debounce for queries using the IdleTimeout event.
We can move all of that state and debounce logic into an AsyncHook
implementation, introduced here as `DynamicQueryHandler`. The hook
receives updates to the primary query and debounces those events so
that once a query has been idle for a short time (275ms) we re-run
the query.
A standard Picker created through `new` for example can be promoted into
a Dynamic picker by chaining the new `with_dynamic_query` function, very
similar to FilePicker's replacement `with_preview`.
The workspace symbol picker has been migrated to the new way of writing
dynamic pickers as an example. The child commit will promote global
search into a dynamic Picker as well.
We will use this in the child commit to improve the picker's running
indicator. Nucleo 0.4.0 includes an `active_injectors` member that we
can use to detect if anything can push to the picker. When that count
drops to zero we can remove the running indicator.
Nucleo 0.4.1 contains a fix for crashes with interactive global search
on a large directory.
This works nicely for dynamic pickers: we stop any running jobs like
global search that are pushing to the injector by incrementing the
version number when we start a new request. The boolean only allowed
us to shut the picker down once, but with a usize a picker can have
multiple "sessions" / "life-cycles" where it receives new options
from an injector.
Now that the picker is defined as a table, we need a way to provide
input for each field in the picker. We introduce a small query syntax
that supports multiple columns without being too verbose. Fields are
specified as `%field pattern`. The default column for a picker doesn't
need the `%field` prefix. The field name may be selected by a prefix
of the field, for example `%p foo.rs` rather than `%path foo.rs`.

`menu::Item` is replaced with column configurations for each picker
which control how a column is displayed and whether it is passed to
nucleo for filtering. (This is used for dynamic pickers so that we can
filter those items with the dynamic picker callback rather than nucleo.)
The picker has a new lucene-like syntax that can be used to filter the
picker only on certain criteria. If a filter is not specified, the text
in the prompt applies to the picker's configured "primary" column.
Adding column configurations for each picker is left for the child
commit.
The picker previously used the IdleTimeout event as a trigger for
syntax-highlighting the currently selected document in the preview pane.
This is a bit ad-hoc now that the event system has landed and we can
refactor towards an AsyncHook (like those used for LSP completion and
signature-help). This should resolve some odd scenarios where the
preview did not highlight because of a race between the idle timeout
and items appearing in the picker.
`syn_loader` was replaced rather than interior value being replace,
old value was still being referenced and not updated after `:config-refresh`.
By using `ArcSwap` like for `config`, each `.load()` call will return the most
updated value.

helix-stdx is meant to carry extensions to the stdlib or low-level
dependencies that are useful in all other crates. This commit starts
with all of the path functions from helix-core and the CWD tracking that
lived in helix-loader.
The CWD tracking in helix-loader was previously unable to call the
canonicalization functions in helix-core. Switching to our custom
canonicalization code should make no noticeable difference though
since `std::env::current_dir` returns a canonicalized path with
symlinks resolved (at least on unix).
* transition to nucleo for fuzzy matching
* drop flakey test case
since the picker streams in results now any test that relies
on the picker containing results is potentially flakely
* use crates.io version of nucleo
* Fix typo in commands.rs

Pascal and I discussed this and we think it's generally better to
take a 'RopeSlice' rather than a '&Rope'. The code block rendering
function in the markdown component module is a good example for how
this can be useful: we can remove an allocation of a rope and instead
directly turn a '&str' into a 'RopeSlice' which is very cheap.
A change to prefer 'RopeSlice' to '&Rope' whenever the rope isn't
modified would be nice, but it would be a very large diff (around 500+
500-). Starting off with just the syntax functions seems like a nice
middle-ground, and we can remove a Rope allocation because of it.

Merges the code for the Picker and FilePicker into a single Picker that
can show a file preview if a preview callback is provided. This change
was mainly made to facilitate refactoring out a simple skeleton of a
picker that does not do any filtering to be reused in a normal Picker
and a DynamicPicker (see #5714; in particular [mikes-comment] and
[gokuls-comment]).
The crux of the issue is that a picker maintains a list of predefined
options (eg. list of files in the directory) and (re-)filters them every
time the picker prompt changes, while a dynamic picker (eg. interactive
global search, #4687) recalculates the full list of options on every
prompt change. Using a filtering picker to drive a dynamic picker hence
does duplicate work of filtering thousands of matches for no reason. It
could also cause problems like interfering with the regex pattern in the
global search.
I tried to directly extract a PickerBase to be reused in Picker and
FilePicker and DynamicPicker, but the problem is that DynamicPicker is
actually a DynamicFilePicker (i.e. it can preview file contents) which
means we would need PickerBase, Picker, FilePicker, DynamicPicker and
DynamicFilePicker and then another way of sharing the previewing code
between a FilePicker and a DynamicFilePicker. By merging Picker and
FilePicker into Picker, we only need PickerBase, Picker and
DynamicPicker.
