fuzzy_nucleo: Refactor multi-atom code to use nucleo::Pattern (#55264)

refactor of the fuzzy_nucleo string and path matching code, instead of
handling the multiple atoms ourselves we can just use `nucleo::Pattern`
and abstract that all away. this replaces the for loop in the
path/string_match_helper functions. all functionality is exactly the
same. basically the same / within some tiny margin of the original.

this could enable the use of `nucleo::Pattern::parse` in the future if
that was wanted, which allows some extra syntax to activate different
matching modes. [more info from
deepwiki](https://deepwiki.com/search/how-do-the-different-atom-matc_37e510de-af27-44a1-a52f-3fc367462e6e?mode=fast).
I'm pretty sure that enabling that is as simple as switching a
`Pattern::new(...)` call with `Pattern::parse(...)`.
