Describe the feature

If Zed is installed using a package manager, the auto_update feature is undesirable – the updates are handled by the package manager. Can you please put it behind feature gate so that distros can build Zed without the auto_update feature and its dependencies?

I see that a PR has been opened for this already, but just wanted to mention that you can disable this locally via your settings.json file with:

"auto_update": true

I realize that isn't as desirable, but it is a workaround in the meanwhile.

The idea is that there should be an option to override this setting for installations done through package managers so that there aren't cases where a user enables it and then the package gets broken in one of the numerous ways it could be (eg. non-glibc systems, shared dep mismatches, etc.).
