docs(docs/ai-coder): add deprecation notice to Coder Tasks pages (#24831)

Adds a deprecation warning callout to the top of the main Coder Tasks
docs page (`docs/ai-coder/tasks.md`).

The message reads:

> Beginning June 2026, Coder Tasks will be deprecated. Support for Tasks
will be maintained on Coder's ESR release and through Coder v2.36. After
v2.36, support for Tasks will only be on our 12-month ESR release for
Coder Premium Customers.

Uses the existing `> [!WARNING]` admonition pattern already used for
deprecations elsewhere in the docs (e.g.
`docs/ai-coder/ai-gateway/mcp.md`).

Coder Tasks works with a range of AI coding agents, each with different levels
of support for preserving conversation context across pause and resume cycles.
This page covers which agents support resume, what session data they store,

## Background
Most software engineering organizations track and manage their codebase through GitHub, and use project management tools like Asana, Jira, or even GitHub's Projects to coordinate work. Across these systems, engineers are frequently performing the same repetitive workflows: triaging and addressing bugs, updating documentation, or implementing well-defined changes for example.

Tasks can pause when idle and resume when you interact with them again.
Pausing frees compute resources while preserving conversation context, so
the agent can pick up where it left off. This page covers how pause and
