This fixes a regression that caused the VS code extension to be unable
to authenticate after making keyring usage on by default. This is
because the VS code extension assumes the CLI will always use the
session token stored on disk, specifically in the directory specified by
--global-config.
This fix makes keyring usage enabled when the --global-config directory
is not set. This is a bit wonky but necessary to allow the extension to
continue working without modification and without backwards compat
concerns. In the future we should modify these extensions to either
access the credential in the keyring (like Coder Desktop) or some other
approach that doesn't rely on the session token being stored on disk.
Tests:
`coder login dev.coder.com` -> token stored in keyring
`coder login --global-config=/tmp/ dev.coder.com` -> token stored in
`/tmp/session`
Make keyring usage for session token storage on by default for supported
platforms (Windows and macOS), with the ability to opt-out via
--use-keyring=false.
This change will be a breaking change for any users depending on the
session token being stored on disk, though users can restore file usage
via the flag above.
This change will also require CLI users to authenticate after updating.
## Overview
This change promotes the tasks CLI commands from `coder exp task` to
`coder task`, marking them as generally available (GA).
## Migration
Users will need to update their scripts from:
```shell
coder exp task create "my task"
```
To:
```shell
coder task create "my task"
```

This change implements optional secure storage of the CLI token using the operating system
keyring for Windows, with groundwork laid for macOS in a future change. Previously, the
Coder CLI stored authentication tokens in plaintext configuration files, which posed a
security risk because users' tokens are stored unencrypted and can be easily accessed by
other processes or users with file system access.
The keyring is opt-in to preserve compatibility with applications (like the JetBrains
Toolbox plugin, VS code plugin, etc). Users can opt into keyring use with a new
`--use-keyring` flag.
The secure storage is platform dependent. Windows Credential Manager API is used on Windows.
The session token continues to be stored in plain text on macOS and Linux. macOS is omitted
for now while we figure out the best path forward for compatibility with apps like Coder Desktop.

Fixes https://github.com/coder/coder/issues/17840
NOTE: calling this out as a breaking change so that it is highly visible
in the changelog.
* CLI: Modifies `coder update` to stop the workspace if already running.
* UI: Modifies "update" button to always stop the workspace if already
running.
Refactor the workspace SSH command syntax across the project to use the
"workspace.coder" format instead of "coder.workspace". This standardizes
the SSH host entries for better consistency and clarity.
This is a follow-up from #17445 and recommends using the suffix-based
format for all new Coder versions.

* feat: added whomai cmd to coder cli
* refactor: update Coder CLI's whoami command to use client URL instead of deployment config
* feat(cli): add unit tests for the whoami command
* chore(docs): add coder command to fetch authenticated user info
* chore(doc): update help desc
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.
This change will improve over CLI performance and "snappiness" as well as
substantially reduce our test times. Preliminary benchmarks show
`coder server --help` times cut from 300ms to 120ms on my dogfood
instance.
The inefficiency of lipgloss disproportionately impacts our system, as all help
text for every command is generated whenever any command is invoked.
The `pretty` API could clean up a lot of the code (e.g., by replacing
complex string concatenations with Printf), but this commit is too
expansive as is so that work will be done in a follow up.
This allows specifying a command to run that can output headers for
cases where users require dynamic headers (like to authenticate to their
VPN).
The primary use case is to add this flag in SSH configs created by the
VS Code plugin, although maybe config-ssh should do the same.
