markdown_preview: Add max-width setting (#59512)

This PR introduces a markdown preview max-width setting in which we
allow to limit by a given pixel number how wide the content within the
preview tab should go. Before this, content would render edge-to-edge
and if you're reading long markdown docs with no split panes, having it
be full width like that was a horrible reading experience.

So, right now, you can control that through the
`zed://settings/markdown_preview.max_width` setting.

Release Notes:

- Added setting to control max-width of content within the markdown
preview.
