charlotte 6285decfa2 Add Git submodule initialization to repository setup steps (#5818 )

Was running into an issue building live_kit_server after a fresh clone
due to missing dependencies for build.rs. The use of git submodules
wasn't currently documented.

Building Zed

Repository

After cloning the repository, ensure all git submodules are initialized:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Dependencies

Install Rust
Install Xcode from the macOS App Store
Install Xcode command line tools
```
xcode-select --install
```
Ensure that the Xcode command line tools are using your newly installed copy of Xcode:
```
sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
```

Install the Rust wasm toolchain:
```
rustup target add wasm32-wasi
```

Backend Dependencies

If you are developing collaborative features of Zed, you'll need to install the dependencies of zed's collab server:

Install Postgres
Install Livekit and Foreman
```
brew install livekit foreman
```

Building Zed from Source

Once you have the dependencies installed, you can build Zed using Cargo.

For a debug build:

cargo run

For a release build:

cargo run --release

And to run the tests:

cargo test --workspace

Troubleshooting

Error compiling metal shaders

error: failed to run custom build command for gpui v0.1.0 (/Users/path/to/zed)`**

xcrun: error: unable to find utility "metal", not a developer tool or in PATH

Try xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

Cargo errors claiming that a dependency is using unstable features

Try cargo clean and cargo build,
