Indent guides (#11503)

Builds on top of existing work from #2249, but here's a showcase:


https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/assets/53836821/4b346965-6654-496c-b379-75425d9b493f

TODO:
- [x] handle line wrapping
- [x] implement handling in multibuffer (crashes currently)
- [x] add configuration option
- [x] new theme properties? What colors to use?
- [x] Possibly support indents with different colors or background
colors
- [x] investigate edge cases (e.g. indent guides and folds continue on
empty lines even if the next indent is different)
- [x] add more tests (also test `find_active_indent_index`)
- [x] docs (will do in a follow up PR)
- [x] benchmark performance impact

Release Notes:

- Added indent guides
([#5373](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/5373))
