Description

Hey!
I'm developing cross platform desktop app, and I need to set different cargo extra env per platforms.
eg. on Windows I have:

    "rust-analyzer.cargo.extraEnv": {
        "FFMPEG_DIR": "C:\\Users\\User\\Documents\\code\\vibe\\desktop\\src-tauri\\ffmpeg",
        "OPENBLAS_PATH": "C:\\Users\\User\\Documents\\code\\vibe\\desktop\\src-tauri\\openblas",
        "CLBlast_DIR": "C:\\Users\\User\\Documents\\code\\vibe\\desktop\\src-tauri\\clblast",
        "LIBCLANG_PATH": "C:\\Program Files\\LLVM\\bin"
    }

While on Linux and macOS I have other paths. (In addition it will be nice if I can use {workspaceDirectory} env there? not sure if it will expand it)

The implementation should be similar to this per: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/pull/15308/files

Research direction

Start by reading the rust-analyzer.cargo.extraEnv setting and the referenced pull request (rust-lang/rust-analyzer#15308) to understand the existing configuration pattern. Define the platform-specific environment configuration and determine whether {workspaceDirectory} expansion is supported; done means separate Windows, Linux, and macOS values work as requested.
