feat: Add BAT feature for syntax highlighting and Git integration

[Copilot]

This PR adds support for the BAT tool, a cat(1) clone with syntax highlighting and Git integration, as requested in the issue.

Changes Made

• Added BAT feature implementation in src/bat/ directory:

  • devcontainer-feature.json - Feature metadata and configuration
  • install.sh - Installation script using apt package manager
  • README.md - Feature documentation

• Added test infrastructure in test/bat/:

  • test.sh - Automated test to verify BAT installation and functionality

• Updated main README.md to include BAT in the features table and usage examples

Implementation Details

The implementation uses the system package manager (apt) for reliable installation across Ubuntu and Debian-based containers. Key features:

• Cross-platform compatibility: Works on Ubuntu and Debian base images
• Ubuntu naming handling: Automatically creates a symlink from bat to batcat (Ubuntu's package name) for consistent usage
• Reliable installation: Uses apt instead of GitHub releases to avoid SSL/network issues in container builds
• Automated testing: Includes comprehensive test coverage

Usage Example

{
    "image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/base:ubuntu",
    "features": {
        "ghcr.io/jsburckhardt/devcontainer-features/bat:1": {}
    }
}

After installation, users can use bat command for syntax-highlighted file viewing:

bat --version
bat somefile.py  # Shows syntax highlighting

Testing

• ✅ Passes automated tests on Ubuntu latest
• ✅ Passes automated tests on Debian latest
• ✅ Manual verification of syntax highlighting functionality
• ✅ Validates proper symlink creation for Ubuntu's batcat binary

Fixes #54.
