Chris BiscardiandKirill Bulatov bf2d51bcfd Implement inspector flag (#62920)
# Objective

Make it easy to conditionally enable the gpui inspector, with a goal of
eventually turning it on in nightly.

## Solution

The new `zed/inspector` flag (and supporting flags in other crates)
enables the relevant inspector features in `gpui`, `ui`, and
`inspector_ui` to be able to display the gpui inspector.

## Testing

- Enabling the inspector adds about 5mb to the binary, and for context
the zed binary is > 400mb at this time.
- Observationally, the inspector doesn't affect performance in a
meaningful way, but I did not run profiling.

```
# release with inspector (inspector on)
cargo run --release --features inspector
# release without inspector (inspector off)
cargo run --release
# dev build with debug assertions (inspector on)
cargo run
```

then trigger `dev::ToggleInspector`.

- windows: `shift-alt-i`
- macos: `cmd-alt-i`

Licensing

Zed source code is licensed primarily under GPL-3.0-or-later, with Apache-2.0 components where marked.

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.

Sponsorship

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.
