Pass --time 0 to docker rm -f

[jameshearttech]

• Dev Containers CLI calls docker rm -f with a 15-second timeout
• OCI default stop timeout is 10 seconds
• That leaves only ~5 seconds of margin for process overhead, SSH, WSL2 pipe latency
• On Windows with Podman the overhead consistently consumes that margin, causing intermittent failures
• Fix suggestion: pass --time 0 to docker rm -f since graceful shutdown is irrelevant during a container rebuild

I added --stop-timeout=0 to runArgs in devcontainer.json.

This occurred 14 times for me today while troubleshooting.
