Add support for the "..." entry in hidden_files (#64484)
## Objective

Let projects add hidden file patterns without repeating defaults or
patterns inherited from user settings.

Part of
[#64399](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/discussions/64399).

## Solution

Extend the `"..."` behavior from #62769, #64222, and #64440 to
`hidden_files`. `"..."` includes the resolved inherited list, omitting
it replaces the list, and `[]` clears it. Duplicate entries retain their
first occurrence.

The default remains `["**/.*"]`, and `project_panel.hide_hidden` still
controls visibility.

## Testing

Tested on macOS with settings merge, worktree integration, and Settings
Editor metadata tests.

To check manually, configure different user and project hidden file
patterns and enable `project_panel.hide_hidden`. Include `"..."` to
retain inherited patterns, then repeat without it and with `[]` to
verify replacement and clearing.

## Self-Review Checklist:

- [x] I’ve reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability
- [x] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments
- [x] The content adheres to Zed’s UI standards
([UX/UI](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist)
and
[icon](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/crates/icons/README.md)
guidelines)
- [x] Tests cover the new/changed behavior
- [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable

---

Release Notes:

- Added support for `"..."` in `hidden_files` so project settings can
extend inherited hidden-file patterns.

Licensing

Zed source code is licensed primarily under GPL-3.0-or-later, with Apache-2.0 components where marked.

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
