Describe the feature

Now that we have changelogs displayed directly in Zed, it would be nice to also have the docs bundled and displayable directly in Zed as well. Since the docs already appear to be written in markdown, it should be relatively straightforward to share the code from the changelog view. Essentially:

• [ ] Pack docs into the app bundle at build time (they live in the same repo so the version always matches).
  • It's probably better to just copy them into a resource directory in the bundle instead of packing them into the binary. That way they can also be viewed with external applications in case Zed fails to launch.
• [ ] Add zed: open manual action to open the bundled docs in a rendered markdown view

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature

Since the docs already appear to be written in markdown, it should be relatively straightforward to share the code from the changelog view. Essentially:

I don't think it's quite that simple, as the docs are all built for mdbook (along with some custom preprocessors), so they aren't going to show up exactly 1:1 when using a standard Markdown renderer.
