While our extension ecosystem grows more and more, we simultaneously are
also enforcing more and more policies to have a better experience for
our users and ensure extensions meet a minimum standard. However, at the
same time, it has become increasingly difficult for extension authors to
keep track of what we enforce onto extensions and what specific rules
apply to their extension.
Thus, this PR splits out the publishing guidelines out of the
`Developing Extensions` page in an effort to make it easier to go
through our requirements and make it harder to miss those. This also
paves the way for more detailed publishing prerequisites, so that both
authors can more quickly see what applies to their extension as well as
reviewers having easier ways to point authors to what they are missing.

I'm installing an extension for the first time from source and assumed
that the sentence
> If you already have a published extension with the same name
installed, your dev extension will override it.
also means that it would override the already installed extension.
Besides that I've had to use `--foreground` mode to also get more
meaningful error messages under NixOS without using
`programs.nix-ld.enabled = true;`.
Release Notes:
- Improved Zed documentation for extension development

We'll now clean up DAP locators for unloaded extensions and load schemas
proper
I can now load a custom Ruby extensions with all bells and whistles and
use it as my debugger.

While creating a new MCP extension this weekend, I visited these pages
and it felt like they could be improved a little bit. I'm renaming the
MCP-related page under the /extension directory to use the "MCP"
acronym, instead of "context servers".
Release Notes:
- N/A
Just tried installing a dev extension and kept getting "error: failed to install dev extension".
Turns out this was because I had rust installed via homebrew and not rust. Once I switched to rustup, it worked perfectly fine.
Release Notes:
- N/A
- Fixed a regex for finding tags.
- Templatize the instructions with `$LANGNAME` to prevent manual errors
from failing to edit commands (this bit me)
- Ran formatting through Prettier
Clarify that rustup is required to build developer extensions. Developer
extensions fail silently to the logs because rustup isn't found, even
when rust is installed.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR adds a note to the docs encouraging folks to fork the
`zed-industries/extensions` repo to a personal GitHub account rather
than a GitHub organization, as this makes life easier for everyone.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR adds a section to the extension docs on how to update an
extension.
Moving this over from the docs that used to live in the extensions repo
so that we can have them all in one place.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Add language-specific subdirectory in example directory structure, since
that's the requisite structure - see `extensions/languages.md`
