Summary

Update the "Developer Tools" section to use lstk, rather than the legacy localstack CLI or xxxlocal wrapper scripts. This PR covers all parts of "Developer Tools", with the exception of "Snapshots" which is a much bigger change (for another PR).

Note that several "preview" features are not currently supported by lstk (and may never be supported), so were marked with "continue to use localstack" call-outs:

  • AWS Replicatorlstk doesn't support it yet, and it'll likely be added to lstk deploy
  • LocalStack MCP Server — currently manages LocalStack via the legacy localstack CLI. Discussions on the correct strategy are ongoing.
  • Ephemeral Instanceslstk doesn't support these, and will likely be replaced by a new "Cloud Sandboxes" feature.
  • IAM Policy Stream's localstack aws iam stream command — Will likely be merged into App Inspector.

All changes were manually reviewed, and all pages were studied end-to-end to avoid missing anything.

…e `lstk`

Rebrands the legacy `localstack` CLI reference page as deprecated (moved to
the end of the sidebar) and makes `lstk` the recommended tool across the
developer-tools section, converting `localstack start`/`awslocal`/`cdklocal`
usage to `lstk start`/`lstk aws`/`lstk cdk` equivalents in the lambda-tools
and security-testing pages.

Not yet migrated to `lstk` (noted in-page, still require the legacy CLI or
wrapper scripts):
- AWS Replicator (aws-replicator)
- LocalStack MCP Server, including its cdklocal/tflocal/samlocal/awslocal
  dependencies
- Ephemeral Instances
- IAM Policy Stream's `iam stream` subcommand (lstk has no `iam` command
  group)

Snapshots (Cloud Pods, persistence, etc.) are intentionally out of scope
here and will be migrated in a separate PR.
