Refactor push_str(&format!(...)) to use write! in canvas module
This commit optimizes string concatenation in the `canvas.rs` module by using `std::fmt::Write` and the `write!` macro instead of `push_str(&format!(...))`. This eliminates temporary `String` allocations inside rendering loops, reducing memory overhead and improving performance for complex canvas operations. Explanatory comments were added, and the learning was appended to the Bolt journal. Co-authored-by: Tcode-Motion <188012755+Tcode-Motion@users.noreply.github.com>

## 2024-06-25 - Suboptimal Line Search in LSP
1212
**Learning:** Using `chars().nth()` with a byte offset (such as one returned by `.find()`) inside a loop over a string creates an O(N) penalty and may result in an incorrect character lookup if multi-byte unicode characters are present.
1313
**Action:** Use string slicing with the byte index to create a subset string slice, and call `.chars().next_back()` or `.chars().next()` on it for an O(1) and UTF-8 safe boundary lookup.

## 2024-05-24 - Avoid `push_str(&format!(...))` in loops
15+
**Learning:** Using `push_str(&format!(...))` inside loops creates unnecessary temporary String allocations because `format!` allocates a new `String` which is then appended and immediately dropped.
16+
**Action:** Use `std::fmt::Write` and the `write!` macro directly onto the target string buffer instead.
