```
rules library: Improve delineation of default and non-default rules (#39209)

Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/39183

This PR adds UI improvements to clarify the concept of "default rules"
and how they separate from regular rules. This is mostly motivated by
the issue linked above, where it clarified that the star icon was
communicating a "favoriting" affordance, which is not correct with how
rules work in Zed. When you tag/attach a rule as default, it will always
be included in every prompt, together with the agent's system prompt and
project rules (if they exist).

Hopefully, this will make understanding better. Here's how it looks like
now?

Release Notes:

- Improve rules library UI to better communicate the concept of default
rules vs. regular rules.
```
