coder/desktop: KDE Plasma instead of XFCE

Add image/Dockerfile (published as
git.nic-oconnor.com/public/coder-desktop-kde:noble): enterprise-desktop
noble plus KDE Plasma and KasmVNC 1.5.0, baked in so starts skip apt.
It carries three fixes found testing in the cluster:

- kwin-x11 installed explicitly (only a Recommends; without it Plasma
  runs with no window manager),
- startkde -> startplasma-x11 symlink, since KasmVNC's -select-de kde
  checks for startkde and Plasma 5.20+ renamed it,
- KWin compositing off by default (no GPU; it only adds VNC lag).

The template now uses that image with desktop_environment = "kde" and
pulls Always, and drops the XFCE .xsessionrc seeding.
