Description
Make the Aspire VS Code extension easier to find from the getting-started docs.
This adds a VS Code entry point to the docs home page, cross-links the extension from the CLI install, first app, and AppHost pages, and tightens the extension guide around the happy path: open or create an Aspire app, let the extension find the AppHost, press F5, then use the Aspire view and dashboard while the app runs.
