Miguel Raz Guzmán Macedo 4b7369481d Add dylint lint library for Zed-specific patterns (#58496)
Adds a dylint library under tooling/lints that flags Zed-specific
anti-patterns:

* shared_string_from_str_literal, 
* async_block_without_await, 
* entity_update_in_render, 
* notify_in_render, 
* owned_string_into_shared, 
* len_in_loop_condition, and 
* blocking_io_on_foreground. 

Includes UI tests, a single-lint helper, and workspace.metadata.dylint
registration so cargo dylint --all discovers it. The library pins its
own nightly toolchain (kept out of the main workspace) and tracks dylint
6.

Release Notes:

- N/A

Self-Review Checklist:

- [ ] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability
- [ ] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments
- [ ] The content is consistent with the [UI/UX
checklist](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist)
- [ ] Tests cover the new/changed behavior
- [ ] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable

/// ### What it does
///
/// Flags calls to known blocking IO functions from the standard library
/// (`std::fs`, `std::thread::sleep`, `std::process::Command`, `std::net`)
/// when they appear inside a function that receives a synchronous GPUI
/// context parameter (`&App`, `&mut App`, `&Context<T>`,
/// `&mut Context<T>`, `&mut Window`) or directly inside a
/// `Render::render` / `RenderOnce::render` method.
///
/// ### Why is this bad?
///
/// In GPUI, code that receives a synchronous context type runs on the
/// foreground (UI) thread. A blocking IO call on this thread freezes the
/// application until the syscall returns.
