fuzzy_nucleo: Optimize path matching with CharBag prefilter and add benchmarks (#54112)
This PR was originally a part of
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/53551 so theres more info
about its motivation there.

- Add a CharBag prefilter on path candidates to skip irrelevant entries
before invoking nucleo's matcher.
- Use binary_search on sorted matched char indices when reconstructing
byte positions (perf improvement).
- Add a criterion benchmark comparing `fuzzy_nucleo` path matching
against the existing fuzzy crate.

Performance Chart:

| Benchmark | Size | Nucleo (before) | Nucleo (after) | Fuzzy |
Before/Fuzzy | After/Fuzzy |

|-----------|-----:|----------------:|---------------:|------:|-------------:|------------:|
  | 1-word | 100 | 14.14 µs | 9.12 µs | 9.06 µs | 1.56x | 1.01x |
  | 1-word | 1,000 | 164.37 µs | 114.11 µs | 110.43 µs | 1.49x | 1.03x |
  | 1-word | 10,000 | 1.83 ms | 1.39 ms | 1.41 ms | 1.30x | 0.99x |
  | 2-word | 100 | 12.83 µs | 3.51 µs | 979 ns | 13.10x | 3.59x |
  | 2-word | 1,000 | 131.65 µs | 33.46 µs | 6.37 µs | 20.67x | 5.25x |
  | 2-word | 10,000 | 1.24 ms | 338.84 µs | 52.46 µs | 23.64x | 6.46x |o

Exact Current State:
| query | size | nucleo | fuzzy | nucleo/fuzzy |

  | 1-word | 100 | 8.62 µs | 9.22 µs | 0.93× |

Licensing

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.

Sponsorship

Zed is developed by Zed Industries, Inc., a for-profit company.
