feat: TOML based config for rust-analyzer

# TOML Based Config for RA
This PR ( addresses #13529 and this is a follow-up PR on #16639 ) makes rust-analyzer configurable by configuration files called `rust-analyzer.toml`. Files **must** be named `rust-analyzer.toml`. There is not a strict rule regarding where the files should be placed, but it is recommended to put them near a file that triggers server to start (i.e., `Cargo.{toml,lock}`, `rust-project.json`).
## Configuration Types
Previous configuration keys are now split into three different classes.
1. Client keys: These keys only make sense when set by the client (e.g., by setting them in `settings.json` in VSCode). They are but a small portion of this list. One such example is `rust_analyzer.files_watcher`, based on which either the client or the server will be responsible for watching for changes made to project files.
2. Global keys: These keys apply to the entire workspace and can only be set on the very top layers of the hierarchy. The next section gives instructions on which layers these are.
3. Local keys: Keys that can be changed for each crate if desired.

## Configuration Hierarchy
There are 5 levels in the configuration hierarchy. When a key is searched for, it is searched in a bottom-up depth-first fashion.
### Default Configuration
**Scope**: Global, Local, and Client
This is a hard-coded set of configurations. When a configuration key could not be found, then its default value applies.
### User configuration
**Scope**: Global, Local
If you want your configurations to apply to **every** project you have, you can do so by setting them in your `$CONFIG_DIR/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer.toml` file, where `$CONFIG_DIR` is :
| Platform | Value | Example |
| ------- | ------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| Linux | `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` or `$HOME`/.config | /home/alice/.config |
| macOS | `$HOME`/Library/Application Support | /Users/Alice/Library/Application Support |
| Windows | `{FOLDERID_RoamingAppData}` | C:\Users\Alice\AppData\Roaming |
### Client configuration
**Scope**: Global, Local, and Client
Previously, the only way to configure rust-analyzer was to configure it from the settings of the Client you are using. This level corresponds to that.
> With this PR, you don't need to port anything to benefit from new features. You can continue to use your old settings as they are.
### Workspace Root Configuration
**Scope**: Global, Local
Rust-analyzer already used the path of the workspace you opened in your Client. We used this information to create a configuration file that won't affect your other projects and define global level configurations at the same time.
### Local Configuration
**Scope**: Local
You can also configure rust-analyzer on a crate level. Although it is not an error to define global ( or client ) level keys in such files, they won't be taken into consideration by the server. Defined local keys will affect the crate in which they are defined and crate's descendants. Internally, a Rust project is split into what we call `SourceRoot`s. This, although with exceptions, is equal to splitting a project into crates.
> You may choose to have more than one `rust-analyzer.toml` files within a `SourceRoot`, but among them, the one closer to the project root will be
Add preference modifier for workspace-local crates when using auto import.
`@joshka` pointed out some odd behavior of auto import ordering. It doesn't seem that the current heuristics were applying any sort of precedence to imports from the workspace. I've went ahead and added that.
I hope to get some feedback on the modifier numbers here. I just went with something that felt like it balanced giving more power to workspace crates without completely ignoring relative path distance.

fix: do not resolve prelude within block modules
fix#17338 (continuing from #17251).
In #17251, we injected preludes into non-top-level modules, which leading to r-a to directly resolve names in preludes in block modules. This PR fix it by checking whether the module is a pseudo-module introduced by blocks. (similar to what we do for extern preludes)
Changed package.json so vscode extension settings have submenus
There are a lot of options that are a part of rust-analyzer, sometimes it can be hard to find an option that you are looking for. To fix this I have put all configurations into categories based on their names. I have also changed the schema in `crates/rust-analyzer/src/config.rs` to reflect this.
Currently for each generated entry the title is redeclared, this does function but I am prepared to change this if it is a problem.
Currently, rust-analyzer highlights the entire region when a `cfg` is
inactive (e.g. `#[cfg(windows)]` on a Linux machine). However,
unlinked files only highlight the first three characters of the file.
This was introduced in #8444, but users have repeatedly found
themselves with no rust-analyzer support for a file and unsure
why (see e.g. #13226 and the intentionally prominent pop-up added in
PR #14366).
(Anecdotally, we see this issue bite our users regularly, particularly
people new to Rust.)
Instead, highlight the entire inactive file, but mark it as all as
unused. This allows users to hover and run the quickfix from any line.
Whilst this is marginally more prominent, it's less invasive than a
pop-up, and users do want to know why they're getting no rust-analyzer
support in certain files.
Feat: hide double underscored symbols from symbol search
Fixes#17272 by changing the default behavior of query to skip results that start with `__` (two underscores).
Not sure if this has any far reaching implications - a review would help to understand if this is the right place to do the filtering, and if it's fine to do it by default on the query.
If you type `__` as your search, then we'll show the matching double unders, just in case you actually need the symbol.
Don't mark `#[rustc_deprecated_safe_2024]` functions as unsafe
`std::env::set_var` will be unsafe in edition 2024, but not before it. I couldn't quite figure out how to check for the span properly, so for now we just turn the false positives into false negatives, which are less bad.
Add `Function::fn_ptr_type(…)` for obtaining name-erased function type
The use case of this function if being able to group functions by their function ptr type.

fix: Only generate snippets for `extract_expressions_from_format_string` if snippets are supported
Part of #17332
Fixes `extract_expressions_from_format_string` so that it doesn't generate snippets if the client doesn't support it.
