## Message

````
cli: Allow opening non-existent paths (#43250)

Changes are made to `parse_path_with_position`:
we try to get the canonical, existing parts of
a path, then append the non-existing parts.

Closes #4441

Release Notes:

- Added the possibility to open a non-existing path using `zed` CLI
  ```
  zed path/to/non/existing/file.txt
  ```
