PlatformWindow::prompt to objc2 on MacOS (#59572)
# Objective Rust 1.96 emits a warning when compiling the `block` crate, that it will no longer compile past some future version of Rust. The `block` crate provides `ConcreteBlock` and `RcBlock`, which are stack- and heap-based functions often passed as callbacks to MacOS. The old `objc` crate family is deprecated and no longer maintained. The goal of the PR is to replace one call to `block::ConcreteBlock` by migrating a standalone portion of code to the objc2 crate family. A full migration to `objc2` by Zed has been long on the horizon (#22408) Additional benefits: The new code is completely typed, uses automatic memory management, and reduces lines of unsafe Rust from 50+ to 1. The lingering unsafe converts a raw pointer stored by `self` to the respective `objc2` type, since the rest of the window implementation does not use the new crates yet. ## Solution Migrate `PlatformWindow::prompt`'s MacOS implementation to `objc2`. ## Testing Direct platform code is quite fragile and hard to test, however you can exercise the codepath by running the following `gpui` example and clicking on the prompt buttons. ```sh cargo run -p gpui --example window ``` I've also built Zed with these changes and tried codepaths which activate prompts, such as deleting a file. ## Self-Review Checklist: - [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability - [x] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments - [x] The content adheres to Zed's UI standards ([UX/UI](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist) and [icon](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/crates/icons/README.md) guidelines) - [ ] Tests cover the new/changed behavior - [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable --- Release Notes: - N/A or Added/Fixed/Improved ...
