Description
The floating dev tools are very nice, but usually I like to have them just below the page.
With VS Code tabs, I always have to move it there.
I like the options edge has in the standalone browser:
Where undocking would be to use a seperate VS Code webview (which is currently the default behavior).
For the docked cases, the dev tools would just render in the same web view as the page.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the extension's existing floating dev tools and its separate VS Code webview behavior, then compare the requested docked and undocked modes with the linked Edge example. Done should mean users can choose docked tools rendered with the page or undocked tools in a separate webview, with the existing floating behavior preserved.
