This PR updates docs/design-time-builds.md as it was missing some details, and had some outdated information. The content was rewritten in a few places to be clearer and provide more context.

Docs in the /docs folder are aimed at users of the project system. This PR moves the most relevant customer-facing content to the front of the doc, particularly now we are surfacing DTB errors more prominently in VS.

This change adds the verbatim info bar text to the doc, so that searches can find it more easily.

The instructions for capturing binlogs were refined to be more targeted and succinct. Instructions for earlier versions of VS were collapsed in a summary/details region.

Outdated instructions for performance analysis have been rewritten to reference features in the structured log viewer.

More explanation is given about what DTBs are used for, and what conditions trigger them.

Newer GitHub markdown features were used.

A previous edit (ace1a0e) made a section on authoring DTB targets confusing, by modifying a table that it referenced so a referenced column no longer existed. The old table has been copied into that section to avoid confusion and improve clarity.
