## Message

```
zig: Use env if using `zls` from shell env (#10559)

This fixes the problem of the Zig extension picking up `zls` from the
shell env but `zls` then failing to launch because it cannot find `zig`.

Scenario in which this happens:
- `.envrc` in a project that sets `$PATH` up
- in that `$PATH` there's `zls` and `zig`
- Zed is started from Dock
- Project is opened
- Shell env from project directory is loaded and used to get to `zls`
- `zls` is then started, without that environment set on the process
- `zls` cannot find `zig`

Release Notes:

- N/A
