## Message

```
gpui_util: Respect custom Scoop installation paths (#62473)

# Objective

- Fix PowerShell discovery when Scoop is installed outside the default
`%USERPROFILE%\scoop` directory.
- Zed currently ignores Scoop's `SCOOP` environment variable, so it can
miss `pwsh.exe` and fall back to another shell.

## Solution

- Use the `SCOOP` environment variable as the Scoop root when it is set.
- Fall back to `%USERPROFILE%\scoop` when `SCOOP` is unset.
- Preserve the PowerShell discovery order and file validation from the
current `main` branch.

The original change also covered Git Bash. That is no longer needed
after #63339 changed Git Bash discovery to follow the active Git
installation.

## Testing

- `cargo fmt --all --check`
- `cargo test -p gpui_util` — 2 passed, 0 failed.
- `cargo check -p gpui_util --tests --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc` —
passed.
- Did not runtime-test the Windows-specific path on this macOS host
because Windows test binaries cannot run natively here.
- To test manually on Windows, set `SCOOP` to a custom Scoop root
containing `shims\pwsh.exe`, launch Zed, and verify that PowerShell is
selected.
