vim: Add `use_match_quotes` setting for % motion, default is `true` (#42615)

Add a `match_quotes` parameter to the `vim::Matching` action that
controls whether the `%` motion should treat quote characters (', ", `)
as matching pairs.

In Neovim, `%` only matches bracket pairs (([{}])), not quotes. Zed's
existing behavior includes quote matching, which some users prefer. To
preserve backwards compatibility while allowing users to opt into
Neovim's behavior, this PR:

1. Adds an optional `match_quotes` boolean parameter to the
   `vim::Matching` action
2. Updates the default vim keymap to use ["vim::Matching", {
   "match_quotes": true }], preserving Zed's current behavior
3. Users who prefer Neovim's behavior can rebind `%` in their keymap:

```
{
    "context": "VimControl && !menu",
    "bindings": {
        "%": ["vim::Matching", { "match_quotes": false }]
    }
}
```

When `match_quotes` is `false`, the `%` motion will skip over quote
characters and only match brackets/parentheses, matching Neovim's
default behavior.

Release Notes:

- vim: Added match_quotes parameter to the vim::Matching action to control
whether % matches quote characters
