Description

To make it easier for developers to integrate Dev Proxy into GitHub Codespaces and VS Code Dev Containers, we should create a [Development Container Feature](https://containers.dev/implementors/features/) for Dev Proxy.

**Benefits of this approach:**
- **Streamlined setup:** Developers can enable Dev Proxy with a single line of configuration in their `devcontainer.json`, avoiding manual installation steps.
- **Consistency:** Ensures consistent Dev Proxy installation and configuration across different environments and teams.
- **Reusability:** The feature can be reused across multiple dev containers and projects, reducing duplicate effort.
- **Discoverability:** Features are listed in the Dev Container Feature marketplace, making Dev Proxy easier to find and adopt.
- **Best practices:** Follows the recommended approach for extensibility in Codespaces and Dev Containers.

A GitHub repository template is available to author the feature: [@devcontainers/feature-starter](https://github.com/devcontainers/feature-starter)
