debugger: Add support for inline value hints (#28656)

This PR uses Tree Sitter to show inline values while a user is in a
debug session.

We went with Tree Sitter over the LSP Inline Values request because the
LSP request isn't widely supported. Tree Sitter is easy for
languages/extensions to add support to. Tree Sitter can compute the
inline values locally, so there's no need to add extra RPC messages for
Collab. Tree Sitter also gives Zed more control over how we want to show
variables.

There's still more work to be done after this PR, namely differentiating
between global/local scoped variables, but it's a great starting point
to start iteratively improving it.
