zed: Use CLI env for lang servers, tasks, terminal (#17075)
This changes the Zed CLI `zed` to pass along the environment to the Zed
project that it opens (if it opens a new one).

In projects, this CLI environment will now take precedence over any
environment that's acquired by running a login shell in a projects
folder.

The result is that `zed my/folder` now always behaves as if one would
run `zed --foreground` without any previous Zed version running.


Closes #7894
Closes #16293

Release Notes:

- Improved the Zed CLI `zed` to pass along the environment as it was on
the CLI to the opened Zed project. That environment is then used when
opening new terminals, spawning tasks, or language servers.
Specifically:
- If Zed was started via `zed my-folder`, a terminal spawned with
`workspace: new terminal` will inherit these environment variables that
existed on the CLI
- Specific language servers that allow looking up the language server
binary in the environments `$PATH` (such as `gopls`, `zls`,
`rust-analyzer` if configured, ...) will look up the language server
binary in the CLI environment too and use that environment when starting
the process.
- Language servers that are _not_ found in the CLI environment (or
configured to not be found in there), will be spawned with the CLI
environment in case that's set. That means users can do something like
`RA_LOG=info zed .` and it will be picked up the rust-analyzer that was
spawned.

Licensing

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
