Phileas LebadaandPeter Tripp 0ec071b869 Improve extension development docs (#33646)
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

Danilo Leal 6c6bc030c0 docs: Improve MCP-related pages (#32422)
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".

Wilhelm Klopp 8ae61e5d58 docs: Emphasize that Rust must be installed via rustup (#24447)
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.
