Debounce refresh of inlay hints on buffer edits (#8282)
I think this makes it less chaotic to edit text when the inlay hints are
on.

It's for cases where you're editing to the right side of an inlay hint.
Example:

```rust
for name in names.iter().map(|item| item.len()) {
    println!("{:?}", name);
}
```

We display a `usize` inlay hint right next to `name`.

But as soon as you remove that `.` in `names.iter` your cursor jumps
around because the inlay hint has been removed.

With this change we now have a 700ms debounce before we update the inlay
hints.

VS Code seems to have an even longer debounce, I think somewhere around
~1s.

Release Notes:

- Added debouncing to make it easier to edit text when inlay hints are
enabled and to save rendering of inlay hints when scrolling. Both
debounce durations can be configured with `{"inlay_hints":
{"edit_debounce_ms": 700}}` (default) and `{"inlay_hints":
{"scroll_debounce_ms": 50}}`. Set a value to `0` to turn off the
debouncing.
