Description

### Page link:

https://bazel.build/install/ide

### Problem description (include actual vs expected text, if applicable):

https://bazel.build/install/ide#c_language_family_c_c_objective-c_objective-c_and_cuda refers to https://github.com/hedronvision/bazel-compile-commands-extractor, which appears to be abandoned (bugs and PRs are ignored, incompatible with Bazel 9). https://registry.bazel.build/modules/wolfd_bazel_compile_commands appears to be a viable alternative (and has the advantage of being released to the BCR).

### Where do you see this issue? (include link to specific section of the page, if applicable)

https://bazel.build/install/ide#c_language_family_c_c_objective-c_objective-c_and_cuda

### Any other information you'd like to share?

Research direction

Open the /install/ide page and read the C, C++, Objective-C, and CUDA section at the reported anchor. Confirm how the existing bazel-compile-commands-extractor link is presented, replace it with the wolfd_bazel_compile_commands BCR link, and verify that the page points readers to the maintained alternative.
