Merges the code for the Picker and FilePicker into a single Picker that
can show a file preview if a preview callback is provided. This change
was mainly made to facilitate refactoring out a simple skeleton of a
picker that does not do any filtering to be reused in a normal Picker
and a DynamicPicker (see #5714; in particular [mikes-comment] and
[gokuls-comment]).
The crux of the issue is that a picker maintains a list of predefined
options (eg. list of files in the directory) and (re-)filters them every
time the picker prompt changes, while a dynamic picker (eg. interactive
global search, #4687) recalculates the full list of options on every
prompt change. Using a filtering picker to drive a dynamic picker hence
does duplicate work of filtering thousands of matches for no reason. It
could also cause problems like interfering with the regex pattern in the
global search.
I tried to directly extract a PickerBase to be reused in Picker and
FilePicker and DynamicPicker, but the problem is that DynamicPicker is
actually a DynamicFilePicker (i.e. it can preview file contents) which
means we would need PickerBase, Picker, FilePicker, DynamicPicker and
DynamicFilePicker and then another way of sharing the previewing code
between a FilePicker and a DynamicFilePicker. By merging Picker and
FilePicker into Picker, we only need PickerBase, Picker and
DynamicPicker.

Resolves issue #6888 by adding a command to join all selections and yank
them to the specified register. The typed command takes an argument as
the separator to use when joining the selections.
* Fix next/prev tree-sitter inconsistency
Before there where different results going to next or previous due to
sorting not dealing with multiple captures that start/end at the same
pos. I chose to prefer longer matches.
* Revert unnecessary change
* runtime config made clearer
* following Unix FHS
* we probably want to install Helix as a regular user without sudo access
* suggestions adopted from @the-mikedavis
* attempted to synthesise comments given
* capitalisation of second header
* required changes hopefully made
* we should have a match now
* Linux windows dir match
Previously the error message for this potential failure-case was
confusing: "no such file or directory". `hx -g fetch`, `hx -g build` and
the helix-term builder should bail early if the git binary is not
available.
Previously a count or register selection would be lost while opening
the command palette. This change allows using a register selection or
count in any command chosen from the command palette.
