What changed in this PR
Updates CLI and deployment documentation to avoid implying the .NET SDK is a universal prerequisite for all Aspire CLI workflows, while keeping .NET setup guidance where the examples specifically use C#/.NET projects.
Changes:
- Generalizes
aspire doctorand CLI overview wording to avoid a blanket .NET SDK prerequisite. - Clarifies that GitHub Actions Docker/Docker Compose examples assume a C# AppHost and .NET API, and labels the .NET setup step accordingly.
- Adjusts
aspire doctorcheck descriptions to “report” SDK availability/version rather than implying universal enforcement.

Summary
Remove the CLI overview's incorrect blanket .NET SDK prerequisite and use neutral environment-check wording in the doctor and reference descriptions.
Scope the Docker and Docker Compose CI examples explicitly to their C# AppHost and .NET API. Keep the SDK setup those projects need, without implying it is required for every Aspire workflow. Prerequisites and historical release notes are unchanged.
