## Message

```
Allow Prettier to read the .editorconfig files of the project when formatting from within Zed (#59149)

allow Prettier to read the .editorconfig files of the project when
formatting from within zed.

Prettier's API requires passing the `{ editorconfig: true }` option to
read .editorconfig files. The prettier CLI uses this option by default
when running but the API does not.

API Option for this:
https://prettier.io/docs/api#prettierresolveconfigfileurlorpath--options

Code where the CLI of prettier defaults this to true to show this option
aligns with Prettier's defaults.
