Very related to #11220 and seems like a duplicate. |

My weekend was fantastic, I found the place to do what I wanted in Zed's source code

This is great when coding with Rust. I like using themes where the hint text color matches the type text color, but sometimes it confuses me when I can't easily distinguish between a hint and a clearly declared type |

This PR adds the ability to display backgrounds for inlay hints within
the editor.
This is controlled by the new `inlay_hints.show_background` setting.
This setting defaults to `false`.
To enable the setting, add the following to your `settings.json`:
```json
{
"inlay_hints": {
"enabled": true,
"show_background": true
}
}
```
When enabled, the inlay hint backgrounds will use the `hint.background`
color from the theme.

hint.backgroundexists in Zed's color scheme, but it doesn't seem to work.If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature
In VSCode, it looks like this
