fix(desktop): find Zed installed as a Flatpak on Linux

Flatpak puts app launchers in its exports/bin directories but does not
add them to PATH, so Zed installed from Flathub never appeared in the
Open in editor list. Search the user and system Flatpak export
directories after PATH on Linux, and look for Zed's Flathub launcher.

Closes #5458
