docs: Apply documentation standards across all docs (#49177) 
## Summary

Comprehensive remediation of 146 documentation files to align with Zed's
documentation conventions and brand voice guidelines.

## Changes

### YAML Frontmatter
- Added `title` and `description` frontmatter to all docs missing it

### Settings UI Pattern
- Updated 48+ files to show Settings Editor before JSON examples
- Pattern: `Configure X in Settings ({#kb zed::OpenSettings}), or add to
your settings file:`
- Added `([how to edit](./configuring-zed.md#settings-files))` links for
JSON-only settings

### Brand Voice Fixes
- Removed exclamation points (command-palette, key-bindings, repl,
privacy-and-security, etc.)
- Simplified em dash chains to parentheticals (environment,
troubleshooting, agent-panel, etc.)
- Fixed marketing language (yarn.md intro, development/linux.md)

### Terminology Alignment
- `settings UI` -> `Settings Editor`
- `sidebar` -> specific panel names (Project Panel, Collab Panel)
- `directory` -> `folder` in non-technical contexts
- `workspace` -> `project` in non-LSP contexts
- `Command Palette` -> `command palette` (lowercase)

### Callout Standardization
- Converted various callout formats to standard `> **Note:**` pattern

## Related

Depends on conventions established in #49176.

Installing Extensions Browse, install, and manage extensions from the Zed Extension Gallery.

Installing Extensions

Extensions add functionality to Zed, including languages, themes, and AI tools. Browse and install them from the Extension Gallery.

Open the Extension Gallery with {#kb zed::Extensions}, or select "Zed > Extensions" from the menu bar.

Installation Location

  • On macOS, extensions are installed in ~/Library/Application Support/Zed/extensions.
  • On Linux, they are installed in either $XDG_DATA_HOME/zed/extensions or ~/.local/share/zed/extensions.
  • On Windows, the directory is %LOCALAPPDATA%\Zed\extensions.

This directory contains two subdirectories:

  • installed, which contains the source code for each extension.
  • work which contains files created by the extension itself, such as downloaded language servers.

Auto-installing

To automate extension installation/uninstallation see the docs for auto_install_extensions.
