Description
Since the preference for editor varies by developer, not by project, it makes sense to allow the developer's environment to specify which editor better_errors links to.
Currently the `EDITOR` variable is supported, but this only matches specific, known editors that are hard-coded in better_errors.
I recommend a new environment variable, `BETTER_ERRORS_EDITOR_URL`, which would bypass inspection of `EDITOR` and override any configuration in the project. This would allow a developer to use their preferred editor without having to convince the rest of their team or modify better_errors.
