Help text and documentation for the --project flag #2495

Description

@lyobrown

Goal

  • cmd.intellij.detail / cmd.vscode.detail in cli/src/main/resources/nls/Help.properties: document --project <path> (absolute, or relative resolved against CWD; missing / not a folder → error, IDE does not start).
  • ide command docs: the flag, rel/abs resolution, "explicit path ⇒ no merge into that folder" (incl. the workspaces/main consequence), and VS Code sharing the main profile (per-project isolation = future follow-up).
  • Framing: the value is opening a same-toolchain project (e.g. another Java repo) with the managed IDE, without the managed-workspace settings being merged into it.

Done when: help text renders with the flag; docs build; documented behavior matches implemented behavior.
