aspire new command article is missing documentation for the 'Use *.dev.localhost URLs?' prompt #651

Description

Problem

The article on the aspire new command (reference/cli/commands/aspire-new) does not document the interactive prompt:

Use *.dev.localhost URLs?

This prompt is shown during project creation when running aspire new in interactive mode, but there is no explanation of what it means, what the two options are, or when a user should choose each option.

What's missing

The article should explain:

  1. That the prompt appears during interactive project creation.
  2. What *.dev.localhost URLs are (local HTTPS URLs using a wildcard .dev.localhost subdomain pattern).
  3. The consequences of answering Yes vs. No — e.g., whether a local certificate is required, how service-to-service addressing works, or which launch profile is generated.
  4. Any prerequisites (e.g., a trusted development certificate, browser trust store configuration).

Suggested fix

Add a section or a note to the aspire new command reference page that describes the prompt and explains the two options with enough detail for a user to make an informed choice.
