Update Web IDE for GitLab 16 in practical handbook edits

Michael Friedrich requested to merge handbook-edits-web-ide-16-0-update into master

Why is this change being made?

The Web IDE based on VS Code will become the new default with GitLab 16.0 on 2023-05-22, GitLab.com SaaS is already updated. This MR revises the practical handbook editing handbook introduction, and adds more URLs into the GitLab documentation to avoid duplicating information.

It also updates missing features that have been added to the workflows since January 2023.

All information to use the Web IDE is still accurate, and do not require new images/videos at this point.
