Jeremy Ruppel 581f906947 fix(coderd): declare project_id variable in GCP template builder bases (#27015)
## Summary

GCP base templates (`gcp-linux`, `gcp-windows`) in the Template Builder
had a Terraform `variable "project_id"` with no default, but their
`base.json` manifests didn't declare it. The UI never prompted for it,
so the provisioner import always failed with:

```
required template variables need values: project_id
```

## Changes

- Add `project_id` as a required variable in both GCP `base.json`
manifests
- Convert templates from raw Terraform variable blocks to Go template
injection (`{{ .Variables.project_id }}`), matching the existing
kubernetes pattern
- Fix `DefaultBaseRenderContext` to supply a `"REQUIRED"` placeholder
for required variables without defaults (previously rendered as `<no
value>`)
- Replace duplicate test subtests with proper GCP coverage including a
missing-variable error case

<summary>Implementation plan</summary>

### Root cause

The GCP base templates contained `variable "project_id" {}` (no default
= required) in their `.tf.tmpl` files, but the `base.json` manifests had
an empty `variables` array. The Template Builder UI
(`BaseTemplateParametersStep`) is data-driven from `base.json`, so it
never showed a field for `project_id`. The composed Terraform output
still contained the required variable, causing the provisioner import to
fail.

### Fix approach

Follow the pattern established by the kubernetes base template:
1. Declare variables in `base.json` so the UI prompts for them
2. Use Go template syntax (`{{ .Variables.project_id }}`) to inject
values at compose time
3. Remove raw Terraform `variable` blocks from the template since the
value is now baked in

### Files changed

| File | Change |
|---|---|
| `bases/gcp-linux/base.json` | Added `project_id` as a required
variable |
| `bases/gcp-windows/base.json` | Added `project_id` as a required
variable |
| `bases/gcp-linux/main.tf.tmpl` | Removed Terraform variable block, use
Go template injection |
| `bases/gcp-windows/main.tf.tmpl` | Same |
| `bases.go` | `DefaultBaseRenderContext` supplies placeholder for
required vars without defaults |
| `compose_test.go` | Replaced duplicate subtests with proper GCP tests
|
| `templatebuilder_handler_test.go` | Updated `gcp-windows` spec to
expect `project_id` variable |
| Golden files | Regenerated |
