feat: track resource replacements when claiming a prebuilt workspace (#17571)

Closes https://github.com/coder/internal/issues/369

We can't know whether a replacement (i.e. drift of terraform state
leading to a resource needing to be deleted/recreated) will take place
apriori; we can only detect it at `plan` time, because the provider
decides whether a resource must be replaced and it cannot be inferred
through static analysis of the template.

**This is likely to be the most common gotcha with using prebuilds,
since it requires a slight template modification to use prebuilds
effectively**, so let's head this off before it's an issue for
customers.

Drift details will now be logged in the workspace build logs:

Plus a notification will be sent to template admins when this situation
arises:

A new metric - `coderd_prebuilt_workspaces_resource_replacements_total`
- will also increment each time a workspace encounters replacements.

We only track _that_ a resource replacement occurred, not how many. Just
one is enough to ruin a prebuild, but we can't know apriori which
replacement would cause this.
For example, say we have 2 replacements: a `docker_container` and a
`null_resource`; we don't know which one might
cause an issue (or indeed if either would), so we just track the
replacement.

Hi Bobby,
Workspace my-workspace was claimed from a prebuilt workspace by prebuilds-c=
laimer.
During the claim, Terraform destroyed and recreated the following resources
because one or more immutable attributes changed:
docker_container[0] was replaced due to changes to env, hostname
When Terraform must change an immutable attribute, it replaces the entire r=
esource.
If you=E2=80=99re using prebuilds to speed up provisioning, unexpected repl=
acements will slow down
workspace startup=E2=80=94even when claiming a prebuilt environment.
For tips on preventing replacements and improving claim performance, see th=
is guide (https://coder.com/docs/admin/templates/extending-templates/prebui=
lt-workspaces#preventing-resource-replacement).
NOTE: this prebuilt workspace used the particle-accelerator preset.
