[docs] Update WithTerminal docs to reflect Terminal-view default for live resources

[aspire-repo-bot]

Documents changes from microsoft/aspire#18867

@IEvangelist

Targeting release/13.5 based on the source PR milestone 13.5.

Why

PR microsoft/aspire#18867 changes the dashboard's Console logs page so that terminal-enabled resources (via WithTerminal()) default to the Terminal view when the resource is live (state Running), instead of always defaulting to Console logs. Non-live states (Waiting/Starting/exited) still default to Console logs. The existing docs page (app-host/with-terminal.mdx) described the old always-Console-logs-first behavior and needed correcting.

What changed

• Updated the "View terminals in the dashboard" section of src/frontend/src/content/docs/app-host/with-terminal.mdx to describe the new state-dependent default view logic (Terminal when Running; Console logs when Waiting/Starting/Exited/Finished/FailedToStart), and clarified that a later state transition does not auto-switch the view once navigated.

[David Pine (IEvangelist)]

Validated against microsoft/aspire#18867. The state-dependent default, selection-time evaluation, and preserved live views are documented accurately.

Pull request overview

Updates the Aspire AppHost WithTerminal() documentation to match the Aspire dashboard behavior change where terminal-enabled resources default to the Terminal view when the resource is live (Running), and default to Console logs for non-live states.

Changes:

• Documented state-dependent default view selection on the dashboard Console Logs page for terminal-enabled resources.
• Clarified that view selection is evaluated when navigating to a resource and does not auto-switch on later state transitions.
• Retained guidance on manually switching views via the toolbar options (⋯) menu.
