Limit project search to avoid unresponsive app (#9404)
This fixes #[#9135](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/9135)
by introducing file/results limit to project search.

It does this by changing how project search works in multiple ways.

User-facing changes:

- Number files that are being searched is now limited to 5000
- Number of search results in all files is now limited to 10000
- If a limit is reached, search is stopped and a message is displayed
  to the user

Under the hood, we also reworked `Project::search_local`:

- Code has been refactored so that the concurrency-logic is easier to
  distinguish from the search logic.
- We now limit the number of concurrent `open_buffer` operations, since
  that is being done on the main thread and can lead to beachballs when
  finding a lot of results.

Note for reviewer:

@SomeoneToIgnore since you know this code, can you take a look at this?
The changes might look bigger than they are in certain places because I
only extracted code into functions, but the middle part — the sorting of
file paths — has changed in order to avoid too many tasks opening
buffers at the same time and making app unresponsive.

What's also curious is that I think there was a bug in that we searched
ignored entries _twice_: once in `search_snapshots` and then later in
the dedicated `search_ignored_entry` function. I changed the `entries()`
call in `search_snapshots` so that it's always `false`, but that caused
tests to fail (see `test_search_in_gitignored_dirs`). @bennetbo and I
think that there's some state in the Project that made the tests pass
before, because the last of the 3 assertions in that test only passes
when the other two queries run. So we changed the test to be more
stateless and included the possible fix in `search_snapshots`.

Release Notes:

- Fixed project-wide search leading to unresponsive application when
searching in ignored files, by limiting the number of files that are
searched (to 5000) and the number of overall search results to 10000.
Additional performance improvements have also been made in order to
offload more work onto a background thread.
