## Context
Replaces the native system prompt used for "About Zed" with a custom
standalone GPUI window which can open without the need for opening a Zed
editor window of none are currently open.
Closes#49157
## How to Review
Single file change in `crates/zed/src/zed.rs` — the `about` function is
replaced by `open_about_window`. The new window deduplicates itself,
matches the old layout (title, version info, Ok + Copy buttons), and
closes on either button or Escape.
## Screenshots
### Old Behavior
Opening the about window when no other Zed window is open will open a
new empty zed window and display the about window on top:

/>
### New Behavior
If there is no open Zed window we just open an instance of the new About
window:
<img width="1710" height="1076" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e55c92dc-18db-4556-83bd-1a78db754eff"
/>
If there is at least one open Zed window, we display the About window on
top of it:
<img width="1710" height="1075" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a653e402-a107-4b50-8d09-7d50f537b36c"
/>
In bright mode:
<img width="1710" height="1071" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c72f8856-7152-47a6-a630-0875372a270f"
/>
Additionally, the ESC button will now act like clicking the Ok button
and close the about window without copying its content.
