Rename ESPHome Builder references to ESPHome Device Builder

[jesserockz]

Description

The desktop wrapper has been renamed to ESPHome Device Builder to match the underlying Python package (see esphome/esphome-desktop#103). Updates the user-facing references in the troubleshooting guide and the docs-repo issue template.

The historical changelog entry under src/content/docs/changelog/2025.9.0.mdx is intentionally left as-is since that entry describes the product as it was named at that release.
