We disable the logic that allows autostarting discovered devcontainers by default. We want this behavior to be opt-in rather than opt-out.

Pull Request Overview
This PR disables autostarting of discovered devcontainer projects by default, making this behavior opt-in rather than opt-out for better control over automatic project initialization.
- Adds a new CLI flag
--devcontainers-discovery-autostart-enable(defaults to false) - Wraps autostart logic with a conditional check based on the new setting
- Updates tests to verify the new disabled-by-default behavior
