diagnostics: Update diagnostics more eagerly (#10560)
Here comes a lenghty explanation for a short commit: We've had feedback
that our diagnostics tab often mismatches what's shown in the status
bar. E.g: https://x.com/fasterthanlime/status/1778764747732594753 Let's
dive into the lifetime of diagnostic tab first; it is actually spawned
*just once per workspace*, the first time you click on the diagnostics
status indicator. Even if you close this tab, we still reuse the same
object under the hood later on. This has upsides, as it means that you
can close a tab and then reopen it with your selections still in-tact
and so on. However, this also leads to the perceived staleness.
Crucially, the first time ever in a given session that you spawn the
diagnostics tab, the status bar counts match the content of a tab. That
is because we always call \`update_excerpts\` when we create diagnostics
tab for the first time, but later on we have severe constraints on when
we want to update the excerpts in diagnostics tab, mostly centered
around presence of selections in an editor... but, since we reuse the
diagnostic tab object under the hood, we're always gonna have at least
one selection in an editor sans the first time you open it. The end
result is that in order for diagnostic tab contents to be updated, we
have to get a "on-disk-diagnostics-finished" notification from language
server, which can take a long time.
Another example of this property manifesting itself is that if you fix a
diagnostic warning/error, it takes a while for diagnostic tab to reflect
it.

With this PR, I've afforded a bit of leniency in refreshing the contents
of that tab. The old check that discarded updates when diagnostics
editor had at least one selection has been updated to instead reject
multicursors; this is still overly conservative, as I'm not yet sure how
big of an issue is the cursor that's jumping around (as that's what the
selections constraint is supposed to prevent).



Release Notes:

- Fixed diagnostics tab showing outdated entries before the language
server is done with it's analysis.
