## Motivating problem
The gpui API currently has this counter intuitive behaviour
```rust
div()
.id("hallo")
.cursor_pointer()
.text_color(white())
.font_weight(FontWeight::SEMIBOLD)
.text_size(px(20.0))
.child("hallo")
.active(|this| this.text_color(red()))
```
By changing the text_color when the div is active, the current behaviour
is to overwrite all of the text styling rather than do a proper
refinement of the existing text styling leading to this odd result:
The button being active inadvertently changes the font size.

## Solution
Previously refining a Style would not recursively refine the TextStyle
inside of it, leading to this behaviour:
```rust
let mut style = Style::default();
style.refine(&StyleRefinement::default().text_size(px(20.0)));
style.refine(&StyleRefinement::default().font_weight(FontWeight::SEMIBOLD));
assert!(style.text_style().unwrap().font_size.is_none());
//assertion passes
```
(As best as I can tell) Style deliberately has `pub text:
TextStyleRefinement` storing the `TextStyleRefinement` rather than the
absolute `TextStyle` so that these refinements can be elsewhere used in
cascading text styles down to element's children. But a consequence of
that is that the refine macro was not properly recursively refining the
`text` field as it ought to.
I've modified the refine macro so that the `#[refineable]` attribute
works with `TextStyleRefinement` as well as the usual `TextStyle`.
(Perhaps a little bit haphazardly by simply checking whether the name
ends in Refinement - there may be a better solution there).
This PR resolves the motivating problem and triggers the assertion in
the above code as you'd expect. I've compiled zed under these changes
and all seems to be in order there.

Editing JSON styles is not very helpful for bringing style changes back
to the actual code. This PR adds a buffer that pretends to be Rust,
applying any style attribute identifiers it finds. Also supports
completions with display of documentation. The effect of the currently
selected completion is previewed. Warning diagnostics appear on any
unrecognized identifier.

Adds a `#[derive_inspector_reflection]` macro which allows these methods
to be enumerated and called by their name. The macro code changes were
95% generated by Zed Agent + Opus 4.
Release Notes:
* Added an element inspector for development. On debug builds,
`dev::ToggleInspector` will open a pane allowing inspecting of element
info and modifying styles.
Open inspector with `dev: toggle inspector` from command palette or
`cmd-alt-i` on mac or `ctrl-alt-i` on linux.

* Picking of elements via the mouse, with scroll wheel to inspect
occluded elements.
* Temporary manipulation of the selected element.
* Layout info and JSON-based style manipulation for `Div`.
* Navigation to code that constructed the element.
Big thanks to @as-cii and @maxdeviant for sorting out how to implement
the core of an inspector.
