Brandt WearyandHector fcb7e60384 editor: Store folds by file path for persistence across tab close (#47698)
## Summary

Extends #46011 to make folds survive tab close and workspace cleanup.

- Adds `file_folds` table keyed by `(workspace_id, path)` instead of
`editor_id`
- Follows the `breakpoints` table pattern in
`workspace/src/persistence.rs`
- Includes backwards-compatible migration from `editor_folds` on first
read

cc @Veykril - you reviewed the original fold persistence PR, this
extends it to handle the tab-close case.

## Problem

Folds stored by `editor_id` get deleted when:
1. User closes a tab
2. Tab is removed from workspace serialization
3. On next Zed start, `cleanup()` deletes editor rows not in
`loaded_items`
4. `ON DELETE CASCADE` wipes associated folds
5. User manually reopens file → folds gone

This is especially painful for PKM/notes workflows where folds represent
permanent document structure (collapsed sections, reference blocks,
etc).

## Solution

Store folds by file path, not editor ID. The `breakpoints` table already
proves this pattern works in Zed - breakpoints persist across tab close
because they're keyed by path.

## Migration

The PR includes backwards-compatible migration: reads from `file_folds`
first, falls back to `get_editor_folds()`, and migrates old data on
first read. Happy to remove this if you'd prefer a clean break - I'd
delete `get_editor_folds()`, remove the fallback logic in
`read_metadata_from_db()`, and add a `DROP TABLE IF EXISTS editor_folds`
migration. Users would lose any folds saved before the update.

## Test Plan

- [x] Unit test for `file_folds` queries in `persistence.rs`
- [x] Manual test: Open file → fold → close tab → quit Zed → reopen →
manually open file → folds restored

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.
