fix(devcontainer): repair broken build and add docker socket permission fix

The devcontainer could never actually be built successfully - verified by
building it from scratch for the first time in a while. Found and fixed six
issues:

- kubectl: apt.kubernetes.io was deprecated/shut down by Google in 2023,
  switched to the official successor repo pkgs.k8s.io
- docker-ce-cli: apt line hardcoded arch=amd64, breaking the build on
  Apple Silicon; resolved dynamically via dpkg --print-architecture
- useradd -G docker failed because only the Docker CLI (no daemon) is
  installed, so no package ever creates the docker group; added explicit
  groupadd
- oh-my-zsh install had a nested-quoting bug that made the RUN step fail;
  simplified to download-then-run instead of one nested `su -c "sh -c ..."`
- sops binary was hardcoded to linux.amd64, only working on arm64 by luck
  via Docker Desktop's QEMU emulation; resolved dynamically like docker-ce
- docker.sock was mounted but unusable (permission denied) since the
  container's docker group GID never matched the host socket's GID; added
  a root entrypoint (docker-init.sh) that reconciles this at container
  start, then drops to the vscode user via gosu

Also fixed two stale mas-secrets.sops.yaml references (actual filename is
mas-secret.yaml) in README.md and postCreateCommand.sh, set the vscode
user's default shell to zsh (oh-my-zsh was installed but never used by
default), and documented all of the above plus a build+run verification
snippet in README.md so this class of drift is caught before it goes
unnoticed again.

Verified end-to-end: cold `docker build --no-cache`, then a real container
run against the actual mounted kubeconfig, age key, and docker socket -
kubectl reaches the live cluster, sops decrypts a real secret, and docker
ps talks to the real daemon as the vscode user.
