Sergey Borovikov 3ca38c7e1b Prefer exact case matches when breaking completion ties (#54072)
## Summary

Fix completion ordering when two items are otherwise tied and only
differ by letter case.

In cases like `abc` vs `ABC`, if the user types `a`, Zed should prefer
`abc`. If the user types `A`, Zed should prefer `ABC`. This matches the
expectation described in #37081 and #27993, where `subscription` should
rank above `Subscription` for query `s`.

## What changed

In `CompletionsMenu::sort_string_matches`, I added a tie-breaker that
prefers completions with more exact case-sensitive matches at the
fuzzy-match positions.

This only applies after the existing higher-priority sort keys, so it
does not replace fuzzy score, match positions, snippet ordering, or LSP
`sortText`. It only resolves ambiguous ties more intuitively.

## Tests

Added regression coverage in `code_completion_tests` for abstract
case-only examples:

- `a` prefers `abc` over `ABC`
- `A` prefers `ABC` over `abc`
- `ab` prefers `abc` over `ABC`
- `AB` prefers `ABC` over `abc`
- mixed-case multi-letter queries like `Ab` and `aB`

## Verification

Ran:

```bash
cargo test -p editor code_completion_tests
```

- Fixed completions not tie braking by case

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.

Zed is developed by Zed Industries, Inc., a for-profit company.

If you’d like to financially support the project, you can do so via GitHub Sponsors. Sponsorships go directly to Zed Industries and are used as general company revenue. There are no perks or entitlements associated with sponsorship.
