Custom remote project name remains in the title bar even when opening a different remote project #44898

Description

@jansol

Reproduction steps

  1. start zed
  2. open a remote project with a settings.json that specifies a custom project_name
  3. switch to another (still remote, in my case on the same remote machine) project/directory that does NOT specify a project_name
  4. project_name from 2. is still shown in the workspace selector in the title bar

Current vs. Expected behavior

When switching to a project with no explicit name Zed should fall back to the directory name
