fix(examples): remove vscode-desktop module from quickstart to avoid duplicate VS Code Desktop (#26789)

Browse Source 
The Quickstart template offered a "VS Code Desktop" editor option backed
by the `vscode-desktop` module, which produced two "VS Code Desktop"
buttons in the workspace view.

Coder already enables the VS Code Desktop display app for every
workspace by default via [`DefaultDisplayApps()` in
`provisionersdk/agent.go`](https://github.com/coder/coder/blob/c782cbce77b08c0d031a7131a05f5babd762519f/provisionersdk/agent.go#L58-L65)
(`Vscode: true`), so the module was redundant and is the source of the
duplicate.

This removes the `vscode-desktop` module and its editor option, and
updates the README to note that VS Code Desktop is available by default.
The browser-based `code-server`, Cursor, JetBrains, Zed, and Windsurf
options are unchanged. `examples.gen.json` is regenerated.

Closes #26788
