saberoueslati d2ddb4b2d9 markdown: Fix heading sizes and spacing in preview (#54374)
## Context

Heading sizes in the markdown preview were nearly identical to body
text, making `# H1`, `## H2`, and `### H3` visually indistinguishable.
The root cause was in `MarkdownStyle::themed()`: it set a
`heading_level_styles` override with font sizes of `rems(1.05–1.15)`,
which silently replaced the correct sizes applied by
`apply_heading_style` (via GPUI's `text_3xl`/`text_2xl`/`text_xl`
utilities `rems(1.875/1.5/1.25)`). Removing that override restores the
intended hierarchy. A `mt_4()` top margin was also added so consecutive
headings have visual breathing room.

Closes #54358

## How to Review

`crates/markdown/src/markdown.rs` Three changes:
- (1) removed the `heading_level_styles` block from
`MarkdownStyle::themed()` that was overriding heading font sizes with
nearly-body-text values;
- (2) added `mt_4()` to the heading div in `push_markdown_heading` for
better vertical spacing;
- (3) added `test_heading_font_sizes_are_distinct` which renders H1–H3
and a paragraph then asserts that line heights strictly decrease from H1
down to body text.

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.
