Jeremy Ruppel c40b3b9bcb feat: add base templates for all major cloud providers (#26634)
Add 6 new base templates to the template builder, covering all major
cloud providers and platforms:

- **scratch**: Minimal starter template with only `coder_agent` and
metadata
- **aws-windows**: AWS EC2 Windows instances with PowerShell user_data
- **azure-linux**: Azure VMs with cloud-init and managed disk
persistence
- **gcp-linux**: Google Compute Engine Linux instances with persistent
disk
- **gcp-windows**: Google Compute Engine Windows instances
- **digitalocean-linux**: DigitalOcean Linux droplets with persistent
volumes

Each base includes `base.json`, `main.tf.tmpl`, `README.md` (with
prerequisite markers), and any static files (cloud-init configs). Tests
verify all 9 bases load, render without error, and produce valid
single-agent declarations.

`azure-windows` is deferred; it needs to be registered in the `examples`
package first.

Depends on #26633

NB: This is very much an agent-generated PR and draws completely from
base templates that exist in `examples/templates/`. The base.json files
are new, so review those, but don't spend any brain tokens on the
correctness of the terraform and supporting files: any issues there are
issues with the upstream example template

# Remote Development on DigitalOcean Droplets
Provision DigitalOcean Droplets as [Coder workspaces](https://coder.com/docs/user-guides/workspace-management) with this example template.
<!-- prerequisites:start -->
## Prerequisites
To deploy workspaces as DigitalOcean Droplets, you'll need:
- DigitalOcean [personal access token (PAT)](https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/api/create-personal-access-token)
- DigitalOcean project ID (you can get your project information via the `doctl` CLI by running `doctl projects list`)
- Remove the following sections from the `main.tf` file if you don't want to
associate your workspaces with a project:
- `variable "project_uuid"`
- `resource "digitalocean_project_resources" "project"`
- **Optional:** DigitalOcean SSH key ID (obtain via the `doctl` CLI by running
`doctl compute ssh-key list`)
- Note that this is only required for Fedora images to work.
### Authentication
This template assumes that the Coder Provisioner is run in an environment that is authenticated with Digital Ocean.
Obtain a [Digital Ocean Personal Access Token](https://cloud.digitalocean.com/account/api/tokens) and set the `DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN` environment variable to the access token.
For other ways to authenticate [consult the Terraform provider's docs](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/digitalocean/digitalocean/latest/docs).
<!-- prerequisites:end -->
## Architecture
This template provisions the following resources:
- DigitalOcean VM (ephemeral, deleted on stop)
- Managed disk (persistent, mounted to `/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 VM image, or use a [startup script](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/coder/coder/latest/docs/resources/script).
> [!NOTE]
> This template is designed to be a starting point! Edit the Terraform to extend the template to support your use case.
