feat!: autoscaler with scaling schedules

Add the ability to use an autoscaler to scale down to zero outside the defined schedules. Only non-stateful MIGs can be used with autoscalers, so this commit also removes the responsibility of creating the home folder disk (atlantis-disk-0) from the MIG, effectively making it a stateless MIG. Nonetheless, destroying the group will not destroy the disk. Add resources for the disk and the autoscaler, and a usage example. Update the README. BREAKING CHANGE: the 50GB stateful disk is no longer created by the mig, which makes the mig no longer stateful. Additionally, if terraform destroy is executed, the disk is destroyed.

 - **Confidential VM** - A Confidential VM is a type of Compute Engine VM that ensures that your data and applications stay private and encrypted even while in use. You can use a Confidential VM as part of your security strategy so you do not expose sensitive data or workloads during processing. Note that Confidential VM [does not support live migration](https://cloud.google.com/confidential-computing/confidential-vm/docs/error-messages#live_migration_isnt_supported), so if this feature is enabled, `onHostMaintenance` will be set to `TERMINATE`.

+# Example usage
+
+This example uses [scaling schedules](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/autoscaler/scaling-schedules#schedule_configuration_options) to only deploy Atlantis during business hours.
+
+The schedules follow the syntax [described in the documentation](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/google/latest/docs/resources/compute_autoscaler#nested_scaling_schedules), but in short:
+
+- The time zone must be a time zone from the tz database: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tz_database>
+- The schedule field uses the extended cron format
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> It takes 2 to 3 minutes from the beginning of the scheduled time for the instance to be ready to serve requests. After the scheduled end time, it approximately takes 10 minutes for the instance to be destroyed.
+
+Read through the below before you deploy this module.

+- [How to deploy](#how-to-deploy)
+- [After it's successfully deployed](#after-its-successfully-deployed)
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+This module expects that you already own or create the below resources yourself.
+
+- Google network, subnetwork and a Cloud NAT
+- Service account, [specifics can be found here](../../README.md#service-account)
+- Domain, [specifics can be found here](../../README.md#dns-record)
+
+If you prefer an example that includes the above resources, see [`complete example`](https://github.com/runatlantis/atlantis-on-gcp-vm/tree/master/examples/complete).
+
+## How to deploy
+
+See [`main.tf`](https://github.com/runatlantis/atlantis-on-gcp-vm/tree/master/examples/basic/main.tf) and the [`server-atlantis.yaml`](https://github.com/runatlantis/atlantis-on-gcp-vm/tree/master/examples/basic/server-atlantis.yaml).
+
+## After it's successfully deployed
+
+Once you're done, see [Configuring Webhooks for Atlantis](https://www.runatlantis.io/docs/configuring-webhooks.html#configuring-webhooks)
