## Message

````
Implement `inspector` flag (#62920)

# Objective

Make it easy to conditionally enable the gpui inspector, with a goal of
eventually turning it on in nightly.

## Solution

The new `zed/inspector` flag (and supporting flags in other crates)
enables the relevant inspector features in `gpui`, `ui`, and
`inspector_ui` to be able to display the gpui inspector.

## Testing

- Enabling the inspector adds about 5mb to the binary, and for context
the zed binary is > 400mb at this time.
- Observationally, the inspector doesn't affect performance in a
meaningful way, but I did not run profiling.

```
# release with inspector (inspector on)
cargo run --release --features inspector
# release without inspector (inspector off)
cargo run --release
# dev build with debug assertions (inspector on)
cargo run
```

then trigger `dev::ToggleInspector`.

- linux: `ctrl-alt-i`
- windows: `shift-alt-i`
- macos: `cmd-alt-i`
