Correct the use of connections strings in integration documents

[alistairmatthews]

Although in the Dashboard there is often an environment variable such as ConnectionStrings__postgresdb listed, this shouldn't be used in .NET code for two reasons:

• The double-underscore returns null and should be replaced with a colon.
• We should always encourage the Aspire method instead: var connectionUri = builder.Configuration.GetConnectionString("postgresdb");

The double-underscore version is correct for Python and JavaScript examples.

Fixes: #312

Pull request overview

This PR corrects the documentation for database integration by removing incorrect references to ConnectionStrings__<name> environment variables and replacing them with the proper Aspire method GetConnectionString("<name>"). The double-underscore format doesn't work correctly and should not be recommended to developers.

Changes:

• Updated C# code examples to use GetConnectionString() instead of GetValue<string>("ConnectionStrings__<name>")
• Removed ConnectionStrings__<name> from environment variable lists in various integration documentation files
• Removed entire documentation sections that demonstrated the incorrect pattern

Is this true? I thought connection strings were still present.

Closing to re-trigger checks.

I think it's ok to replace usages of builder.Configuration.GetValue<string>("ConnectionStrings__mysqldb") by builder.Configuration.GetConnectionString("mysqldb"); but we should keep these in the table for reference.
