Finn Eitreim 5d41d8f0b7 settings_ui: Shrink constraint on minimum window width (#60786)
# Objective

Right now the minimum width of the settings window is 900px, this makes
it so that when I open it with my window manager (aerospace), it goes
off the screen on the right side.

## Solution

There is a comment, that says:
```
// Don't make the settings window thinner than this,
// otherwise, it gets unusable. Users with smaller res monitors
// can customize the height, but not the width.
width: px(900.0),
height: px(240.0),
```
the comment and limit was added in #44505, which added the edit
prediction provider ui. Now in the past, in #51878 I fixed a bug with
the way that the edit prediction provider and some of the other sub menu
type pages in the settings menu displayed. There isn't really any record
of what specifically made the window unusable below 900px besides the
issue that I fixed in #51878.

## Testing

I tested it by just sort of poking around the different settings pages,
especially the ones I fixed in #51878, and every thing seems totally
fine to me. That said I haven't exhaustively checked every page and if
there was any more information on what that comment was referring to
that would be awesome.

Licensing

Zed source code is licensed primarily under GPL-3.0-or-later, with Apache-2.0 components where marked.

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
