Describe the feature

FYI, programmers in China face restrictions from the Great Firewall(GFW) and require a VPN service to access the internet freely. When I launch Zed, it automatically downloads the LSP server, which is blocked by the GFW and fails to complete. Therefore, I need to set the http_proxy env variable in a terminal session and open Zed using the CLI.

It would be very helpful if there were settings related to http_proxy. Take VS Code as an example:

This project uses isahc = { version = "1.7.2", default-features = false, features = ["static-curl", "text-decoding"] } which respects both https_proxy and http_proxy. To let the app be aware of this, you should follow the macOS mechanism by setting env like this:

launchctl setenv https_proxy http://address
launchctl setenv http_proxy http://address

Now you can access the Internet.

I found this to be a quick helpful reference to explicitly tell isahc what proxy to use: https://github.com/sagebind/isahc/pull/167/files.
