tasks: Add experimental support for user-defined task variables (#13699)

Context:
@bennetbo spotted a regression in handling of `cargo run` task in zed
repo following a merge of #13658. We've started invoking `cargo run`
from the folder of an active file whereas previously we did it from the
workspace root. We brainstormed few solutions that involved adding a
separate task that gets invoked at a workspace level, but I realized
that a cleaner solution may be to finally add user-configured task
variables. This way, we can choose which crate to run by default at a
workspace level.

This has been originally brought up in the context of javascript tasks
in
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/12118#issuecomment-2129232114

Note that this is intended for internal use only for the time being.
/cc @RemcoSmitsDev we should be unblocked on having runner-dependant
tasks now.
