Tomas EstevesandLukas Wirth ae08089415 Fix "Run Debugger" failing silently when project does not compile (#52439)
## Context

Previously the Run Debugger gutter arrow would fail silently when the
Cargo.toml had garbage lines such as “asdfasdf”. This fix makes it so
that the error is detected and bubbles up to the editor, which will
notify the user with a toast diagnostic.

Closes #46716

## How to Review

Small PR - focused on four different files:

In - `crates/languages/src/rust.rs`:
- `target_info_from_abs_path()` - The function signature was changed
from `Option<(Option<TargetInfo>, Arc<Path>)>` to
`Result<Option<(Option<TargetInfo>, Arc<Path>)>>`. A condition was added
to ensure that if the Cargo metadata command is unsuccessful, the
function returns an error instead of causing an EOF error while
deserializing the stdout of the command.
- `build_context()` - Added a `?` in `target_info_from_abs_path(path,
project_env.as_ref()).await` in order to return the error.
 
In - `crates/project/src/task_store.rs`:
- `local_task_context_for_location()` and
`remote_task_context_for_location()` - The functions signatures were
changed from `Task<Option<TaskContext>>` to
`Task<anyhow::Result<Option<TaskContext>>>` for the purpose of
propagating the error.

In - `crates/editor/src/editor_tests.rs`:
- `build_tasks_context()` - The function signature was changed from
`Task<Option<TaskContext>>` to
`Task<anyhow::Result<Option<TaskContext>>>` .
- `toggle_code_actions()` - In case `build_tasks_context()` fails, the
functions notifies the error to the user as a Toast notification.

In - `crates/editor/src/runnables.rs`:
- Since `build_tasks_context()` and
`task_store.task_context_for_location()` now return a Result, the
callers` spawn_nearest_task() `and `task_context()` were modified. The
resulting Result types are transformed to match the expected return
types of `TaskContext` and `Task<Option<TaskContext>>`

Two new tests were added. The first, `target_info_from_abs_path_failed`
in `crates/languages/src/rust.rs`, checks if the system properly catches
the error. The second,
`test_toggle_code_actions_build_tasks_context_error_notifies` in
`crates/editor/src/editor_tests.rs`, confirms that the editor triggers
the expected error notification.

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.
