## Message

```
Fix zed cli in NixOS WSL instances (#43433)

This fixes running `zed <path>` inside nixos wsl instances. We're
copying the approach used elsewhere which is to try using `--exec`
first, and if that fails use an actual shell which should cover the
nixos case because it only puts binaries on your PATH inside the
`/etc/profile` script which is sourced on shell startup.

Release Notes:

- N/A
