Xin ZhaoandFinn Evers fd2c08ece6 bash: Add built-in language server support (#52811)
This PR introduces native LSP support for Bash by integrating
`bash-language-server`. Combined with the existing Tree-sitter grammar,
Zed now provides a complete, out-of-the-box development experience for
shell scripting.

The implementation is very similar to other npm-managed language
servers. With `shellcheck` installed, standard LSP features—including
diagnostics, code actions, go-to-definition, find-references, and code
completion—work as expected.

Since I am not a frequent user of Bash, I have intentionally limited
this implementation to a standard, "out-of-the-box" setup. I lack the
hands-on experience to identify specific pain points or advanced LSP
features that might require custom integration, so I've avoided adding
any speculative or specialized configurations, especially within the
`LspAdapter` trait.
