Add docker-build template to coder-labs namespace (#235)

This template builds Docker containers from a Dockerfile, rather than
using a pre-built image, allowing for more customization of the
development environment.

Based on the docker template that was removed in coder/coder#15504.

# Remote Development on Docker Containers (Build from Dockerfile)
Build and provision Docker containers from a Dockerfile as [Coder workspaces](https://coder.com/docs/workspaces) with this example template.
This template builds a custom Docker image from the included Dockerfile, allowing you to customize the development environment by modifying the Dockerfile rather than using a pre-built image.
<!-- TODO: Add screenshot -->
## Prerequisites
### Infrastructure
The VM you run Coder on must have a running Docker socket and the `coder` user must be added to the Docker group:
```sh
# Add coder user to Docker group
sudo adduser coder docker
# Restart Coder server
sudo systemctl restart coder
# Test Docker
sudo -u coder docker ps
```
## Architecture
This template provisions the following resources:
- Docker image (built from Dockerfile and kept locally)
- Docker container pod (ephemeral)
- Docker volume (persistent on `/home/coder`)
This means, when the workspace restarts, any tools or files outside of the home directory are not persisted. To pre-bake tools into the workspace (e.g. `python3`), modify the `build/Dockerfile`. Alternatively, individual developers can [personalize](https://coder.com/docs/dotfiles) their workspaces with dotfiles.
> [!NOTE]
> This template is designed to be a starting point! Edit the Terraform and Dockerfile to extend the template to support your use case.
### Editing the image
Edit the `build/Dockerfile` and run `coder templates push` to update workspaces. The image will be rebuilt automatically when the Dockerfile changes.
## Difference from the standard Docker template
The main difference between this template and the standard Docker template is:
- **Standard Docker template**: Uses a pre-built image (e.g., `codercom/enterprise-base:ubuntu`)
- **Docker Build template**: Builds a custom image from the included `build/Dockerfile`
This allows for more customization of the development environment while maintaining the same workspace functionality.
