docs: address issue #24270 (#24271)

## Summary
Added timing expectations for diagnostics gathering to help users
understand the process may take several minutes.

## Changes
- Added NOTE callouts in three diagnostics sections explaining that
gathering diagnostics may take several minutes
- Advised users not to close Docker Desktop or terminal while
diagnostics are being collected
- Consistent messaging across "Diagnose from the app", "Diagnose from an
error message", and "Diagnose from the terminal" sections

Fixes #24270
