Fix Devcontainer bugs/spec mismatches (#59020)

When testing Zed on our team's Devcontainer I found some missing
features/bugs/spec mismatches. Commit messages were written by hand,
code reviewed and tested manually, but everything was written by
Claude/Codex based on:

- https://github.com/devcontainers/cli
- https://github.com/devcontainers/spec

The main use case of the metadata is that you can `devcontainer exec`
and `devcontainer up` into a container Zed started (and vice versa). The
same with VSCode, it will reuse Zed's created devcontainer correctly
now. This is useful when using LLMs so they can run commands in the same
devcontainer you have open.
