More details from the original PR
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/53551

This PR implements fuzzy search in the remote projects dialogue, using
the `fuzzy_nucleo::match_strings` introduced in #54123.

## remote project search

The reviews of https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/51197 seemed
to indicate that performance was important here so it runs async and
cancels the previous stale request when a new character is typed.

other features:
text highlighting of what was being typed, similar to other fuzzy
searches.
reorder the projects on the list based on the maximum score from its
projects.
