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`.

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important that we notify the user when their RPC protocol is out of
date, and how to update it.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.

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.

ping #6687
This is the third iteration of this PR ([v2
here](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/11949)) and uses a
different approach to the first two (the process wrapper lib was a
maintainability nightmare). While the first two attempted to spawn the
necessary processes using flatpak-spawn and host-spawn from the app
inside the sandbox, this version first spawns the cli binary which then
restart's itself *outside* of the sandbox using flatpak-spawn. The
restarted cli process than can call the bundled app binary normally,
with no need for flatpak-spawn because it is already outside of the
sandbox. This is done instead of keeping the cli in the sandbox because
ipc becomes very difficult and broken when trying to do it across the
sandbox.
Gnome software (example using nightly channel and release notes
generated using the script):

TODO in this PR:

- [x] Cleanup release note converter.
Future work:
- [ ] Auto-update dialog
- [ ] Flatpak auto-update (complete 'Auto-update dialog' first)
- [ ] Experimental

releases for feedback (?).

### Title
Update macOS Development Documentation with Dispatch.h Error Solution
### Description
This PR updates the macOS development documentation to include a
solution for the `dispatch/dispatch.h` file not found error. This error
is encountered during local development when using the `cargo run`
command. The documentation now includes steps to ensure the Xcode
command line tools are properly installed and set, and instructions to
set the `BINDGEN_EXTRA_CLANG_ARGS` environment variable.
### Changes
- Added troubleshooting section for `dispatch/dispatch.h` error in
`development/macos.md`.
### Related Issues
- Closes [#11963](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/11963)
### Testing Instructions
1. Follow the steps in the updated `development/macos.md` to configure
your environment.
2. Run `cargo clean` and `cargo run` to ensure the build completes
successfully.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR removes the references to initializing Git submodules as part of
building Zed.
These are no longer needed, as our only submodule was removed in #11672.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Just adding a short note about `cargo build --release` and the location
of the compiled binary. It helps a lot to streamline usage of Zed day to
day on Linux.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR fixes the links in the README to account for the changes in the
docs structure.
Also, somehow the README had gotten added with `\r\n` newlines, so I
changed it back to `\n` newlines.
