saberoueslati 1cd3249ca9 editor: Fix stale session path for renamed files (#52539)
## Context

When a file is renamed via the project panel while open in an editor,
Zed would restore the old (no longer existing) path on reload .

On rename, `language::Buffer` emits `BufferEvent::FileHandleChanged`,
which propagates to `multi_buffer::Event::FileHandleChanged` →
`EditorEvent::TitleChanged`. However, `should_serialize()` only matched
`Saved | DirtyChanged | BufferEdited`, so no re-serialization was
triggered and the `editors` DB table retained the stale `abs_path`.

The fix adds a dedicated `EditorEvent::FileHandleChanged` variant, emits
it alongside `TitleChanged` when the buffer's file handle changes, and
adds it to `should_serialize()`. Since `Editor::serialize()` already
reads the current path from the buffer at call time, this naturally
writes the new path to the DB.

Closes #51629

## How to Review

Three files edited:
- `editor.rs`: splits `FileHandleChanged` into its own arm and emits the
new event variant
- `items.rs`: adds `FileHandleChanged` to `should_serialize`
- `items.rs` (test): `test_file_handle_changed_on_rename` does a full
rename via `Project::rename_entry` and asserts the event fires and the
buffer path updates

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.
