## Message

```
remote: Set current_dir for cargo zigbuild cross-compilation (#53951)

## Summary

- The cross-compile path for building `remote_server` via `cargo
zigbuild` was missing `.current_dir()`, causing it to inherit the
process cwd
- This fails with "cannot specify features for packages outside of
workspace" when Zed is launched from outside its source tree
- The native build path at the same location already sets
`.current_dir()` correctly — this aligns the cross-compile path

Closes #53950

## Test plan

- [x] Build Zed from source
- [x] Launch from `/tmp`: `cd /tmp && /path/to/zed some-project
--dev-container`
- [x] Verify dev container cross-compilation succeeds

Release Notes:

- Fixed dev container cross-compilation failing when Zed is launched
from outside its source directory
