Description

If user runs deploy app command #40, give them an option to create a dockerfile if none exists. Guide them to the Docker extension create dockerfile command.

This can be tricky and there might not be a good success rate. Not sure if an optional walkthrough #39 fits in here, or include link to language-specific VS Code quickstarts.

Note that in the future, there might be ways to remotely build an image from source code without a dockerfile. In that case we might not need to help generate a dockerfile.

Research direction

Start at the deploy app command described in issue #40 and inspect how it can detect a missing Dockerfile and guide users to the Docker extension's create Dockerfile command. Compare the optional walkthrough in issue #39 and the linked language-specific VS Code quickstarts; done means the deployment flow offers agreed optional guidance when no Dockerfile exists.
