Description

To round out the support for running Aspire applications via `dotnet watch`, DCP should support "watching" the Dockerfiles. That is, if a Dockerfile used to start a Container changes (and the Container was created with "watch support" enabled), DCP should rebuild the image and restart the Container.

Research direction

Start by locating DCP's existing container creation and watch-support entry points, then trace how Dockerfile changes could trigger image rebuilds. Confirm the expected behavior for a watched container: a changed Dockerfile rebuilds its image and restarts the container.
