Cole Miller 6a1648825c windows: Detect when python3 is not usable and notify the user (#40070)
Fixes #39998

Debugpy and pylsp are installed in a Zed-global venv with pip. We need a
Python interpreter to create this venv when it doesn't exist and one of
these tools needs to be installed, and sometimes we attempt to use
`python3` from `$PATH`. This can cause issues on Windows, where out of
the box `python3` is a sort of shim that opens the Microsoft Store app.

This PR changes the debugpy installation path to create the Zed-global
venv using the Python interpreter from a venv in the project, and only
use python3 from `$PATH` if that fails. That matches how pylsp
installation already works. It also tightens up how we search for a
global Python installation by doing a basic sanity check (`python3 -c
'print(1 + 2)`) before accepting it, which should catch the Windows
shim.

Release Notes:

- windows: improved the behavior of Zed in situations where no global
Python installation exists.

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.
