Backports docs: local development: Rewrite docker section, add Windows Dev Drive and WSL2 instructions to next-16-3.

Clean cherry-pick of 5cca033, no conflicts. Docs-only change to docs/01-app/02-guides/local-development.mdx.

…e and WSL2 instructions (#98164)

Follow-up to

Summary:
- Move system configuration changes into it's own section, separate from
application and project configuration changes.
- The Docker section was very light on details and didn't do a good job
of explaining why this problem happens.
- Also suggest
https://docs.docker.com/desktop/features/synchronized-file-sharing/ for
Docker and explicitly discourage `watchOptions.pollIntervalMs` as a
workaround.
- Suggest Windows Dev Drive
(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dev-drive/). I don't have
experience with it, but Microsoft recommends it and claims it improves
filesystem performance.
- Recommend trying WSL 2.
