Foundations for Open All the Things (#9353)

This is the beginning of setting up a flexible way to open items beyond
the text buffer -- think notebooks, images, GeoJSON, etc. The primary
requirement to allow opening an arbitrary file is `try_open` on the
`project::Item` trait. Now we can make new `Item`s for other types with
their own ways to render.

Under the hood, `register_project_item` uses this new opening scheme. It
supports a dynamic array of opener functions, that will handle specific
item types. By default, a `Buffer` should be able to be able to open any
file that another opener did not.

A key detail here is that the order of registration matters. The last
item has primacy. Here's an example:

```rust
workspace::register_project_item::<Editor>(cx);
workspace::register_project_item::<Notebook>(cx);
workspace::register_project_item::<ImageViewer>(cx);
```

When a project item (file) is attempted to be opened, it's first tried
with the `ImageViewer`, followed by the `Notebook`, then the `Editor`.

The tests are set up in a way that should make it _hopefully_ easy to
learn how to write a new opener. First to go after should probably be
image files.
