AltayandDanilo Leal da6ff30bfb settings_ui: Improve control alignment for multiline settings rows (#49850)
Closes #49848

Before you mark this PR as ready for review, make sure that you have:
- [ ] Added a solid test coverage and/or screenshots from doing manual
testing
- [x] Done a self-review taking into account security and performance
aspects
- [x] Aligned any UI changes with the [UI
checklist](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist)

## Summary
Align right-side controls in settings rows when descriptions wrap to
multiple lines, and relax the text-width cap for better balance.

## Changes
- Top-aligned settings row containers in shared settings UI render paths
by adding `items_start()` to:
  - Setting rows (`render_settings_item`)
  - Sub-page link rows
  - Action link rows
- Updated the left text column width constraint in
`render_settings_item` from `w_3_4` to `w_full + max_w_2_3 + min_w_0` to
avoid overlap while reducing excess empty space.

## Validation
- Built and ran Zed locally with `cargo run`.
- Manual verification in Settings pages with multiline descriptions and
right-side controls:
  - General
  - Appearance
  - Languages & Tools
  - Agent/Terminal-related sections
- Confirmed improved control alignment and no right-column text overlap
in the tested views.

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.
