We disable the logic that allows autostarting discovered devcontainers
by default. We want this behavior to be opt-in rather than opt-out.

This PR implements a project discovery mechanism that searches for any
dev container projects and makes them visible in the UI so that they can
be started. To make the wording on the site more clear, "Rebuild" has
been changed to "Start" when there is no container associated with a
known dev container configuration. I've also made it so that site will
show the dev container config path when there is no other name
available.
### Design decisions
Just want to ensure my explanation for a few design decisions are noted
down:
- We only search for dev container configurations inside git
repositories
- We only search for these git repositories if they're at the top level
or a direct child of the agent directory.
This limited approach is to reduce the amount of files we ultimately
walk when trying to find these projects. It makes sense to limit it to
only the agent directory, although I'm open to expanding how deep we
search.
The agent is extended with a `--script-data-dir` flag, defaulting to the
OS temp dir. This dir is used for storing `coder-script-data/bin` and
`coder-script/[script uuid]`. The former is a place for all scripts to
place executable binaries that will be available by other scripts, SSH
sessions, etc. The latter is a place for the script to store files.
Since we default to OS temp dir, files are ephemeral by default. In the
future, we may consider adding new env vars or changing the default
storage location. Workspace startup speed could potentially benefit from
scripts being able to skip steps that require downloading software. We
may also extend this with more env variables (e.g. persistent storage in
HOME).
Fixes#11131
This change reduces the CPU consumption of --help by ~50%.
Also, this change removes ANSI escape codes from our golden files. I
don't think those were worth the inability to parallelize golden file tests and
global state fragility.
