Include a widget for recommended extensions at the bottom of the dashboard page. about podman-desktop

To explain how the implementation could be made from my understanding of the requirements. We want to make a banner to promote one of the featured extension (while adding some visual elements to make it more appealing as we want it to be full-width).

Let's take the AI Lab mockup for this full width banner.

(see penpot)

From the mockup, we could make a basic layout and deconstruct it

In blue the elements that we need to provide in a new json, and in green the existing content that we can get from the Featured class.

Let's see a quick UML showing how this could be made

Just like the Featured Extension are managed by a class called Featured. We could create a ExtensionBannerManager, that would read the information we require (green) from a json file. A interface ExtensionBanner would be created, either extending the FeatureExtension interface or referencing one.

The reason behind #6656 is for the ExtensionBannerManager to be able to get all the featured extensions, to get the information required to create the banner. Currently, since it only return 6, we often not have the one we want in the list.
