l0ng-aiandl0ng-ai c4645aeea8 feat(terminal): draw a scrollback scrollbar down the right edge of a pane (#480)
A pane's scroll position lives in alacritty's `display_offset` — rows of
scrollback, not pixels of laid-out content — so it has no `ScrollHandle`
to hand a scrollbar. `TerminalScrollHandle` implements gpui-component's
`ScrollbarHandle` over the grid instead, which lets the pane draw the
same `Scrollbar` the sidebar and every list already use: same theme,
same `Scrolling` show mode, same fade-out.

The bar never touches the terminal. `set_offset` only records the row it
wants; `sync_scrollbar` applies that on the next render — clearing the
sub-line remainder and cancelling an in-flight smooth scroll on the way —
and reports back where the grid actually ended up.

Scrollback piling up at the live edge is deliberately not reported: the
bar shows itself whenever the offset it reads changed, so a pane printing
a build log would otherwise hold a thumb on screen for as long as the
output ran. Every other change passes through, including the history
shrinking, which is a cleared scrollback rather than growth.

Closes #432
