Min Web API Tutorial Complete Rewrite and 8 app sample update

[wadepickett]

Description

Rewrite the Minimal Web API tutorial to:

• Change the starting point from an empty project to the OpenAPI-enabled Web API template where most developers would start. Visual Studio now uses the ASP.NET Core Web API project type (with "Enable OpenAPI support" checked and "Use controllers" unchecked); the CLI switches from dotnet new web to dotnet new webapi.

• Replace the old Swagger/NSwag testing approach with the built-in OpenAPI document generator (AddOpenApi() / MapOpenApi()), and uses Scalar (Scalar.AspNetCore) as the browser UI for VS Code instead of NSwag's Swagger UI. Visual Studio continues to use Endpoints Explorer + .http files.

• Update all 8 app samples used by this tutorial for .NET 10 using the ASP.NET Core Web API (webapi for CLI) template.

After this PR is completed/merged:
Update in a new PR refer to final complete app version VS (using .http testing files) and VS Code (using Swagger UI)version on the AspNetCore.docs.samples repo which can be run in Codespaces
