Dave Waggoner 73b37e9774 terminal: Improve scroll performance (#44714)
Related to: 
- #44510 
- #44407 

Previously we were searching for hyperlinks on every scroll, even if Cmd
was not held. With this PR,
- We only search for hyperlinks on scroll if Cmd is held
- We now clear `last_hovered_word` in all cases where Cmd is not held
- Renamed `word_from_position` -> `schedule_find_hyperlink`
- Simplified logic in `schedule_find_hyperlink`

Performance measurements

The test scrolls up and down 20,000x in a loop. However, since this PR
is just removing a code path that was very dependent on the length of
the line in terminal, it's not super meaningful as a comparison. The
test uses a line length of "long line ".repeat(1000), and in main the
performance is directly proportional to the line length, so for
benchmarking it in main it only scrolls up and down 20x. I think all
that is really useful to say is that currently scrolling is slow, and
proportional to the line length, and with this PR it is buttery-smooth
and unaffected by line length. I've included a few data points below
anyway. At least the test can help catch future regressions.

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.
