Update Configuration docs (#14029)
Release Notes:

- N/A

---

I'd like to help improve Configuration documentation.

Currently I'm often confused by the configuration doc. It's incomplete:
not all settings are documented. It's disorganized: some options are
grouped together but overall there's not much structure or logic to it.
It's inconsistent: some examples show only key and value, some—just the
closes object, and others full nesting. It's confusing: individual keys
are listed but it's hard to understand where in the config structure
they belong.

I suggest the following changes:

- Always specify the full path of the setting
- Document all settings Zed recognises
- List settings in alphabetical order of their full path
- Always use full nesting in examples 

This is an example, of what it might look like. It's first draft, too.
So I'm open to suggestions.

Please let me know if you're interested in this. The whole thing might
need a bit of effort so I'd like to know if this is something you might
want before doing all the work.

Zed Docs

Welcome to Zed's documentation.

This is built on push to main and published automatically to https://zed.dev/docs.

To preview the docs locally you will need to install mdBook, and then run:

mdbook serve docs

Images and videos

To add images or videos to the docs, upload them to another location (e.g., zed.dev, GitHub's asset storage) and then link out to them from the docs.

Putting binary assets such as images in the Git repository will bloat the repository size over time.

Internal notes:

  • We have a Cloudflare router called docs-proxythat intercepts requests to zed.dev/docs and forwards them to the "docs" Cloudflare Pages project.
  • CI uploads a new version to the Pages project from .github/workflows/deploy_docs.yml on every push to main.
