- [x] Link the cli to ~/.local/bin in install.sh
Release Notes:
- linux: Add cli support for managing zed
This implements `app_version` on Linux by using an optional,
compile-time `RELEASE_VERSION` env var that can be set.
We settled on the `RELEASE_VERSION` as the name, since it's similar to
`RELEASE_CHANNEL` which we use in Zed.

Changes Zed CI to build and upload Linux nightly bundles.
* `todo!(linux)` are replaced with `TODO linux` to make `todo!`-based
workflows more convenient
* renames `run-build-dmg` label into `run-bundling`, also renames a few
GH Actions entries to be more generic
* make another upload path for Linux, which keeps a separate file with SHA to version the nightly artifact.
* adds a `*.deb` package building with a couple of caveats, marked with
new `TODO linux` entries:
1. `cargo-bundle` is not very flexible, so it generates artifacts with
the structure and names that we're unable to alter before/during the
generation.
For that, a set of extra steps is made by repacking the *.deb package —
this is not very portable between different Linux distros, so later one
needs to find a way to combine multiple package types in this script.
2. `cargo-bundle` is not able to properly generate the *.msi bundle
despite declaring it in the features:
https://github.com/burtonageo/cargo-bundle/issues/116
Windows needs to invent its own way of bundling or fix the tool.
3. Both `cli` and `zed` binaries are added into the archive under
`/usr/local/bin/` path with their `-$channel` suffix
(-nightly/-preview/-dev/-stable) and a `/usr/local/bin/zed ->
/usr/local/bin/cli-nightly` symlink is made to make CLI work as Zed
launcher:
```

```
But the CLI does not work under Linux yet and there's no way to install
that CLI from Zed now; Zed binary itself is not able to open
`file/location:12:34`-like things and set up the env properly, but is
able to start or open a directory.
So, this structure can be considered temporary and changed, if needed.
4. Zed Nightly on Linux does not know how to update itself, so all
nightly publishing is not picked up automatically.
5. Rust cache from `main` builds does not get shared between CI jobs,
due to being run in a different CI job that forms a different CI key, so
```
- name: Cache dependencies
uses: swatinem/rust-cache@v2
with:
save-if: ${{ false }}
```
would not work.
This makes Linux bundling jobs long.
