Avoid symlink conflicts when re-extracting eslint-xx.tar.gz (#36068)
Closes #34325

**Background**
When upgrading/reinstalling the ESLint language server, extracting the
archive over an existing version directory that contains symlinks can
fail and interrupt the installation.
```
failed to unpack .../vscode-eslint-2.4.4/.../client/src/shared
File exists (os error 17) when symlinking ../../$shared/ to .../client/src/shared
```

**Root cause**
Extracting into a non-empty directory conflicts with leftover
files/symlinks (e.g., `client/src/shared -> ../../$shared`), causing
“File exists (os error 17)”.

When `fs::metadata(&server_path).await.is_err()` is true, the code falls
back to cached_server_binary, but that still targets the same
(potentially corrupted/half-installed) directory and does not run `npm
install` or `npm run compile`, so the system cannot recover and remains
broken.

**Change**
Before downloading and extracting, delete the target version directory
(vscode-eslint-<version>) to ensure an empty extraction destination and
avoid conflicts.

**Alternative approaches**
temp directory + rename: extract into a clean temp directory and rename
into place to avoid half-installed states

[async-tar](https://github.com/dignifiedquire/async-tar) enhancement:
tolerate already-existing symlinks (or add a “replace-existing” option).

Release Notes:

- Fixed eslint installation not clearing files after previous attempts'

Licensing

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.
