Description

As suggested here we should put the gitpod config below .gitpod. It will reduce the noise on the top level, as most setups use two config files (.gitpod.yml, .gitpod.Dockerfile).

Research direction

Start by locating the repository's .gitpod.yml and .gitpod.Dockerfile files and search for references to their current top-level paths. The work is done when the Gitpod configuration resides below .gitpod and all relevant references still resolve to the moved files.
