Updating macOS development readme with some gotchas that I ran into
while getting setup.
- Linked to collab readme because that contained the steps to setup the
postgres database so integration tests pass
- Added section under troubleshooting. Recommending `cargo-nextest`
since the CI uses it and it got me past the failures I was seeing.

Just some basic documentation for using debuggers in Zed development.
Goes over configuring cargo to include full debug info, attaching to an
instance of Zed, and using a debugger to debug panics and crashes

According to #23223, manually setting `RUSTFLAGS` env var overrides
settings in `.cargo/config.toml`. Since users possibly may set their own
`RUSTFLAGS` when building, this creates an avenue where builds may fail
for really strange reasons that are difficult to debug.
This PR adds notes to the troubleshooting section to avoid setting
`RUSTFLAGS`, and offers alternatives which do not conflict.
This problem most recently affected nightly CI builders since we had
been setting `RUSTFLAGS` in our workflows to enable custom things like
gles or compiling with a specific target cpu. PR #23117 caused builds to
fail unless they were compiled with `-C target-feature=+crt-static`,
which due to this issue the `RUSTFLAGS` env var we set overrode the
`config.toml` compile flags, causing our builds to fail.

Some changes just so the build docs for the different os matches each
other :)
macos:
- moved `rust wasm toolchain install` up under `rust install` (match
windows docs)
- add instructions to update rust if already installed (match windows
and linux docs)
windows:
- add `(required by a dependency)` to cmake install (match macos docs)
Release Notes:
- N/A
Currently, building on Windows may fail for people who have not enabled
long filepaths on Windows itself.
This PR adds the solution to the troubleshooting section in the
`Building Zed for Windows` guide.
For an example failure error message:
```rs
error: failed to get `pet` as a dependency of package `languages v0.1.0 (D:\a\zed-windows-builds\zed-windows-builds\crates\languages)`
Caused by:
failed to load source for dependency `pet`

Release Notes:

- Add `script/build-docker`
- Add `script/install-cmake`
- Add `script/install-mold`
- Improve `script/linux`
- Add missing dependencies: `jq`, `git`, `tar`, `gzip` as required.
- Add check for mold
- Fix Redhat 8.x derivatives (RHEL, Centos, Almalinux, Rocky, Oracle, Amazon)
- Fix perl libs to be Fedora only
- Install the best `libstdc++` available on apt distros
- ArchLinux: run `pacman -Syu` to update repos before installing.
- Should work on Raspbian (untested)
This make it possible to test builds on other distros using docker:
```
./script/build-docker amazonlinux:2023
```
Closes#18393
Release Notes:
- Added a `ZED_RC_TOOLKIT_PATH` env variable so `winresource` crate can fetch the RC executable path correctly on some configurations
Follow up to https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/17505. This one
contains a bit more copywriting adjustments. Figured we were using the
"You can do x..." sentence shape quite frequently, so tried to kickstart
reducing that slightly. There are also more images not loading in
complement to the one I removed, but I'm not fully sure why that's the
case.

This PR fixes the links to the "Backend dependencies" section from the
local collaboration docs.
We now provide links to the section in the platform-specific development
docs.

This fixes#13360 by adding fallback directories that are searched by
the CLI if the main executable cannot be found in the `libexec`
directory.
Release Notes:
- Added the fallback directories `lib/zed` and `lib/zed-editor` for the
main executable search in the CLI
([#13360](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/13360)).

## Description
When using rust-lld it's possible to get a `STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION`
error at compile time. I added a bit of information about it in the
build guide for windows to recommend using a different linker when
building `zed`.

Supersedes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/12659
Fixes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/12588
One of Zed's core features is our collaboration software. As such, it is
important that we notify the user when their RPC protocol is out of
date, and how to update it. This PR adds a mechanism to replace the
existing auto updater with a message explaining how to update Zed for
this environment.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Fixes#12585
This changes the expectations for installed binaries on linux based on
work
that @jirutka has done for Alpine.
In particular, we now put the cli in place as `bin/zed` and the zed
binary as
`libexec/zed-editor`, and assume that packagers do the same.
