🛠️ Description

Adds a FinOps toolkit ecosystem page listing independent tools and organizations that build on or offer paid services for the FinOps toolkit specifically (not general FinOps/Azure cost management). The toolkit is open source and not covered by Microsoft Support, so there was previously nowhere to point people who want paid implementation, training, advisory, or managed help, or independent tools that extend FinOps hubs.

  • New docs/ecosystem.md page, listed alphabetically, no ranking/logos/featured placement, with a disclaimer that listings aren't a Microsoft endorsement, certification, or partnership.
  • New .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/propose-ecosystem-listing.yaml so other tools/organizations can request inclusion.
  • Linked from docs/README.md, docs/help.md, docs/office-hours.md, docs-mslearn/toolkit/finops-toolkit-overview.md, and docs-mslearn/toolkit/help/help-options.md.
  • Added to the site's global sidebar nav (docs/_includes/components/site_nav.html), grouped with Office hours / Contributor sync rather than mixed into the tools list.

📋 Checklist

🙋‍♀️ Do any of the following that apply?

  • 🚨 This is a breaking change.
  • 🤏 The change is less than 20 lines of code.

📑 Did you update docs/changelog.md?

  • ✅ Updated changelog (required for dev PRs)
  • ➡️ Will add log in a future PR (feature branch PRs only)
  • ❎ Log not needed (small/internal change)

📖 Did you update documentation?

  • ✅ Public docs in docs (required for dev)
  • ✅ Public docs in docs-mslearn (required for dev)

Independent organizations that offer paid implementation, training,
advisory, or managed services for the FinOps toolkit weren't
discoverable anywhere in the docs. Add a dedicated page listing them
(starting with Allyte) plus a GitHub issue template so other
organizations can request inclusion.

Rename to "ecosystem" (community-resources implied generic help
docs, not a third-party ecosystem), add FinOpsHubs.com, Alescent,
and WellArchitected.ch, warm up the tone throughout, and fix
placement so the ecosystem link stands on its own instead of being
buried under community/contributor sections or the office-hours
sentence.
