rn23thakurandSmit Barmase 8a3f841fbd editor: Fix vertical scroll margin calculation (#63944)
# Objective

- Fixes an issue where setting an arbitrarily high `Vertical Scroll
Margin` fails to perfectly lock the cursor in the center of the viewport
(Typewriter Mode?). In certain cases one could go up/down a line before
auto-scroll gets triggered, deviating from user intent.
- Fixes #63862

## Solution

- **The Issue:** When `Vertical Scroll Margin` is very high, the
effective margin applied above and below the cursor is derived from the
viewport's free space:
  ```rust
  ((visible_lines - (target_bottom - target_top)) / 2.0).floor()
  ```
- **The Fix:** Instead of using the same rounded number for both the top
and bottom margins, calculate them separately:
  1. The top margin stays the same as before.
2. The bottom margin is calculated by subtracting the top margin from
the total free screen space.
- This ensures the bottom margin automatically catches whatever fraction
the floor operation on the top margin drops, so the two margins always
sum to the full available space.

## Testing

- Did you test these changes? If so, how?
Ran `cargo test -p editor`, all passed. I've also attached the results
of manual testing in the Showcase section below.

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.
