Helix 25.01

As always, a big thank you to all of the contributors! This release saw changes from 171 contributors.

Breaking changes:

• The editor.lsp.display-messages key now controls messages sent with the LSP window/showMessage notification rather than progress messages. If you want to enable progress messages you should now enable the editor.lsp.display-progress-messages key instead. (#5535)

Features:

• Big refactor for Pickers (#9647, #11209, #11216, #11211, #11343, #11406)
  • Use a table layout and allow filtering by column
  • Reimplement global_search to allow changing the query dynamically
• Add an alternative "inline" display for LSP diagnostics (#6417, #11815)
• Support defining keybindings as macros (#4709)

Commands:

• Add commands to move within snake_case or camelCase words (#8147)
