Add --user-data-dir CLI flag and propose renaming support_dir to data_dir (#26886)
This PR introduces support for a `--user-data-dir` CLI flag to override Zed's data directory and proposes renaming `support_dir` to `data_dir` for better cross-platform clarity. It builds on the discussion in #25349 about custom data directories, aiming to provide a flexible cross-platform solution. ### Changes The PR is split into two commits: 1. **[feat(cli): add --user-data-dir to override data directory](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/26886/commits/28e8889105847401e783d1739722d0998459fe5a)** 2. **[refactor(paths): rename support_dir to data_dir for cross-platform clarity](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/26886/commits/affd2fc606b39af1b25432a688a9006229a8fc3a)** ### Context Inspired by the need for custom data directories discussed in #25349, this PR provides an immediate implementation in the first commit, while the second commit suggests a naming improvement for broader appeal. @mikayla-maki, I’d appreciate your feedback, especially on the rename proposal, given your involvement in the original discussion! ### Testing - `cargo build ` - `./target/debug/zed --user-data-dir ~/custom-data-dir` Release Notes: - Added --user-data-dir CLI flag --------- Signed-off-by: Marko Kungla <marko.kungla@gmail.com>
