Closes #50212

There are two unreasonable coupling account for this issue, the coupling
of `use_tree_sitter` with `languge_aware` in

https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/7892b932795911516f26f3c1c1c72249ed181ba8/crates/editor/src/element.rs#L3820-L3822
and the coupling of `language_aware` with `diagnostics` in
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/7892b932795911516f26f3c1c1c72249ed181ba8/crates/language/src/buffer.rs#L3736-L3746

Because of these couplings, when the editor stops using Tree-sitter
highlighting when `"semantic_tokens"` set to `"full"`, it also
accidentally stops fetching diagnostic information. This is why error
and warning underlines disappear.

I’ve fixed this by adding a separate `use_tree_sitter` parameter to
`highlighted_chunks`. This way, we can keep `language_aware` true to get
the diagnostic data we need, but still decide whether or not to apply
Tree-sitter highlights. I chose to fix this at the `highlighted_chunks`
level because I’m worried that changing the logic in the deeper layers
of the DisplayMap or Buffer might have too many side effects that are
hard to predict. This approach feels like a safer way to solve the
problem.

Release Notes:

- Fixed a bug where diagnostic underlines disappeared when
"semantic_tokens" set to "full"
