### Background
On Windows, paths are normally separated by `\`, unlike mac and linux
where they are separated by `/`. When editing code in a project that
uses a different path style than your local system (e.g. remoting from
Windows to Linux, using WSL, and collaboration between windows and unix
users), the correct separator for a path may differ from the "native"
separator.
Previously, to work around this, Zed converted paths' separators in
numerous places. This was applied to both absolute and relative paths,
leading to incorrect conversions in some cases.
### Solution
Many code paths in Zed use paths that are *relative* to either a
worktree root or a git repository. This PR introduces a dedicated type
for these paths called `RelPath`, which stores the path in the same way
regardless of host platform, and offers `Path`-like manipulation APIs.
RelPath supports *displaying* the path using either separator, so that
we can display paths in a style that is determined at runtime based on
the current project.
The representation of absolute paths is left untouched, for now.
Absolute paths are different from relative paths because (except in
contexts where we know that the path refers to the local filesystem)
they should generally be treated as opaque strings. Currently we use a
mix of types for these paths (std::path::Path, String, SanitizedPath).

Closes#25045
With the setting `"use_system_path_prompts": false`, previously, if the
completion target was a directory, no separator would be added after it,
requiring us to manually append a `/` or `\`. Now, if the completion
target is a directory, a `/` or `\` will be automatically added. On
Windows, both `/` and `\` are considered valid path separators.

Release Notes:
- N/A
For both the strings and paths multithreaded matching it would still
aggregate the response even though it is unneeded. It now checks cancel.
In the paths matcher, cancel is now checked within the loop, since it
was calling `match_candidates` even though no further results would be
computed.
Release Notes:
- N/A
* Removes `max_results` from the matcher interface as this is better
dealt with in consumers once all results are known. The current
implementation was quite inefficient as it was using binary search to
find insertion points and then doing an insert which copies the entire
suffix each time.
* There was a corner case where if the binary search found a match
candidate with the same score, it was dropped. Now fixed.
* Uses of `util::extend_sorted` when merging results from worker threads
also repeatedly uses binary search and insertion which copies the entire
suffix. A followup will remove that and its usage.
* Adds `util::truncate_to_bottom_n_sorted_by` which uses quickselect +
sort to efficiently get a sorted count limited result.
* Improves interface of Matcher::match_candidates by providing the match
positions to the build function. This allows for removal of the `Match`
trait. It also fixes a bug where the Match's own Ord wasn't being used,
which seems relevant to PathMatch for cases where scores are the same.
