zed-pre: Add version 0.228.0

[ian-h-chamberlain]

Closes #2701

Relates to deevus/zed-windows-builds#50 — the current packager for zed-nightly.

Since upstream Zed provides official preview builds, I think it seems reasonable to have them here (vs the unofficial zed-nightly builds that are currently in this bucket).

As far as I can tell, there is no easy way to install Zed preview versions via scoop currently, so I decided to add it myself.

Upstream still doesn't provide official nightly builds for download, so the current nightly packages may still be valuable to some users, but personally I'd prefer to get my builds from the original packager, which this change does.

Manifest is mostly copied from https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Extras/blob/master/bucket/zed.json

Poem

🐰 I hopped through tags and hashes bright,
Packaged Zed preview into the night,
Two arches in my little paw,
Prerelease checked without a flaw,
Installer neat — a coder's delight! 🥕✨

In `@bucket/zed-preview.json`:
- Around line 23-28: The shortcut target in the JSON has to match the executable
location: update the "shortcuts" entry that currently references "zed.exe" to
"bin\\zed.exe" so it aligns with the "bin" field; apply the same fix in the
other manifests mentioned (zed-nightly.json and zed-opengl-nightly.json) by
ensuring each shortcuts array entry points to "bin\\zed.exe".
- Around line 1-47: The shortcut target in the "shortcuts" array points to
"zed.exe" but the package "bin" entry is "bin\\zed.exe", so update the shortcut
target to match the installed executable path; modify the "shortcuts" entry
referencing "zed.exe" to "bin\\zed.exe" (ensure the string exactly matches the
"bin" value) so the shortcut launches the correct executable after installation.
