Add Cargo-style project discovery for Buck and Bazel Users
This feature requires the user to add a command that generates a `rust-project.json` from a set of files. Project discovery can be invoked in two ways:
1. At extension activation time, which includes the generated `rust-project.json` as part of the linkedProjects argument in `InitializeParams`.
2. Through a new command titled "rust-analyzer: Add current file to workspace", which makes use of a new, rust-analyzer-specific LSP request that adds the workspace without erasing any existing workspaces. Note that there is no mechanism to _remove_ workspaces other than "quit the rust-analyzer server".
Few notes:
- I think that the command-running functionality _could_ merit being placed into its own extension (and expose it via extension contribution points) to provide build-system idiomatic progress reporting and status handling, but I haven't (yet) made an extension that does this nor does Buck expose this sort of functionality.
- This approach would _just work_ for Bazel. I'll try and get the tool that's responsible for Buck integration open-sourced soon.
- On the testing side of things, I've used this in around my employer's Buck-powered monorepo and it's a nice experience. That being said, I can't think of an open-source repository where this can be tested in public, so you might need to trust me on this one.
I'd love to get feedback on:
- Naming of LSP extensions/new commands. I'm not too pleased with how "rust-analyzer: Add current file to workspace" is named, in that it's creating a _new_ workspace. I think that this command being added should be gated on `rust-analyzer.discoverProjectCommand` on being set, so I can add this in sequent commits.
- My Typescript. It's not particularly good.
- Suggestions on handling folders with _both_ Cargo and non-Cargo build systems and if I make activation a bit better.
(I previously tried to add this functionality entirely within rust-analyzer-the-LSP server itself, but matklad was right—an extension side approach is much, much easier.)
internal: add `as_slice` to `hir::Type`
~`remove_slice`~ `as_slice` is same as `remove_ref` but for slices.
Though there is `as_array` which I believe was named such because it also gets the length of the array, maybe. I am still shaky on the names feel free to suggest corrections.
feat: add `is_float` & `is_char` to `hir::Type`
Some useful functions we didn't have on `Type` (were present on `BuiltinType`).
Also, I am considering exposing `TyKind` with `get_kind`, let me know if that's a better idea than implementing these API extensions incrementally.
Add path of workspace root folders to status output
Hi folks! Just a quick addition to the status output. There are some colleagues of mine who use a mix of Buck and Cargo. A person spent a bit of time this past week trying to figure out there the `rust-project.json` was coming from and pointed out that `rust-analyzer: Status` could be a good place to put this information. rust-analyzer doesn't seem to record the full path of the `Cargo.toml` or the `rust-project.json`, just the root directory. While not perfect, this should be enough for people to unblock themselves on. Here's an example of `rust-analyzer: Status` on the rust-analyzer repo:
```
