Nick Vigilante ca337915cc docs: fix broken and naked relative links (#25825)
Several relative links in the docs pointed at pages that no longer exist
or rendered incorrectly on coder.com.

Fixes:

- `start/first-template.md`: IDE links repointed from the removed
`../ides.md` / `../ides/web-ides.md` to their current homes under
`user-guides/workspace-access/`.
- `tutorials/example-guide.md`: contributing link repointed to
`../about/contributing/documentation.md`.
- `about/contributing/backend.md`: the `migrations/testdata/fixtures`
and `full_dumps` references (and the `000024_example.up.sql` example)
used relative paths that escape `docs/` and render as bogus
`/docs/coderd/...` routes on the site. Normalized to the canonical
`github.com/coder/coder/(blob|tree)/main/...` form already used by ~120
other source links in the docs.
- Normalized extensionless directory links (`ai-coder/ai-gateway`,
`user-guides/workspace-access`, `install`) to their `/index.md` targets
for consistency with the rest of the docs.

This class of bug is invisible to the local doc checks (`make
lint/markdown` / `pnpm check-docs` only run markdownlint + table
formatting); only CI's Linkspector job validates link targets. Found via
a relative-link audit while investigating the docs preview on #25816.

Source-link version-awareness (so older docs versions don't all point at
`main`) is tracked separately in DOCS-268 and will be handled in the
coder.com render layer.

This is a guide on how to make Coder guides, it is not listed on our
[official tutorials page](../tutorials/index.md) in the docs. Intended for those
who don't frequently contribute documentation changes to the `coder/coder`
repository.
## Content
Defer to our [Contributing/Documentation](../about/contributing/documentation.md) page
for rules on technical writing.
### Adding Photos
Use relative imports in the markdown and store photos in
`docs/images/guides/<your_guide>/<image>.png`.
### Setting the author data
At the top of this example you will find a small html snippet that nicely
renders the author's name and photo, while linking to their GitHub profile.
Before submitting your guide in a PR, replace `your_github_handle`,
`your_github_profile_photo_url` and "Your Name". The entire `<img>` element can
be omitted.
## Setting up the routes
Once you've written your guide, you'll need to add its route to
`docs/manifest.json` under `Guides` > `"children"` at the bottom:
```json
{
// Overrides the "# Guide Title" at the top of this file
"title": "Contributing to Guides",
"description": "How to add a guide",
"path": "./guides/my-guide-file.md"
},
```
## Format before push
Before pushing your guide to github, run `make fmt` to format the files with
Prettier. Then, push your changes to a new branch and create a PR.
