Mathias Fredriksson 97bc7eb9e5 docs: restructure dev container documentation (#21157 )

Dev container admin docs were scattered across two locations: the Docker-based
integration under extending-templates/ and Envbuilder under managing-templates/.
There was no landing page explaining that two approaches exist or helping admins
choose between them.

This moves everything under admin/integrations/devcontainers/ with a decision
guide at the top. Dev containers are an integration with the dev container
specification, so integrations/ is a natural fit alongside JFrog, Vault, etc.

Stub pages remain at the original locations for discoverability.

New structure:

  admin/integrations/devcontainers/
  ├── index.md                                # Landing page + decision guide
  ├── integration.md                          # Docker-based dev containers
  └── envbuilder/
      ├── index.md
      ├── add-envbuilder.md
      ├── envbuilder-security-caching.md
      └── envbuilder-releases-known-issues.md

Dev Containers

Dev containers extend your template with containerized development environments, allowing developers to work in consistent, reproducible setups defined by devcontainer.json files.

Coder's Dev Containers Integration uses the standard @devcontainers/cli and Docker to run containers inside workspaces.

For setup instructions, see Dev Containers Integration.

For an alternative approach that doesn't require Docker, see Envbuilder.
