Dev containers native implementation (#52338)
## Context

Closes #11473

In-house Zed implementation of devcontainers. Replaces the dependency on
the [reference implementation](https://github.com/devcontainers/cli) via
Node.

This enables additional features with this implementation:
1. Zed extensions can be specified in the `customizations` block, via
this syntax in `devcontainer.json:
```
...
  "customizations": {
    "zed": {
      "extensions": ["vue", "ruby"],
    },
  },

```
2.
[forwardPorts](https://containers.dev/implementors/json_reference/#general-properties)
are supported for multiple ports proxied to the host

automatically.)
