earapo13andNick Vigilante defd5d48a1 docs: clarify that Coder server should run on a separate machine (#27468) ...

Closes
[DOCS-600](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-600/make-it-clear-in-the-quickstart-that-you-should-install-the-coder).

The Quickstart guide has readers install and run `coder server` on the
same machine they're working from, without calling out that this is only
for a quick trial. Coder's actual value comes from remote development,
so hosting the Coder server on a separate machine has a lot more power
than running it locally.

This adds two notes to `docs/get-started/index.md`:
- In **Prerequisites**, explaining that this quickstart runs the server
locally for convenience, but a real deployment should host it on a
separate machine, and linking to the
[Install](https://coder.com/docs/install) page.
- In **Step 2: Install and start Coder**, a shorter reminder right
before the install commands.
