Tiara Johnson e7e28c4386 Update pricing url with ref and refAction params [GRO-282] (#24339 )

## Description
In order to better attribute upgrade sources, we are adding two params -
`ref` and `refAction` to the existing pricing url.
The `ref` will be "Docs" and the `refAction` will be the particular docs
page from where the pricing url click is originated.

## Related issues or tickets
https://docker.atlassian.net/browse/GRO-282

## Reviews
@akristen You should see the new url params when hovering over or
clicking any of the updated pricing urls

Docker Desktop terms

Commercial use of Docker Desktop in larger enterprises (more than 250 employees OR more than $10 million USD in annual revenue) requires a paid subscription.

This page contains information on how to install, launch, and upgrade Docker Desktop on a Debian distribution.

Prerequisites

To install Docker Desktop successfully, you must:

Meet the general system requirements.
Have a 64-bit version of Debian 12.
For a Gnome Desktop environment, you must also install AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Gnome extensions.
If you're not using GNOME, you must install gnome-terminal to enable terminal access from Docker Desktop:
```
$ sudo apt install gnome-terminal
```

Install Docker Desktop

Recommended approach to install Docker Desktop on Debian:

Set up Docker's apt repository. See step one of Install using the apt repository.
Download the latest DEB package. For checksums, see the Release notes.
Install the package using apt:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install ./docker-desktop-amd64.deb

Note

At the end of the installation process, apt displays an error due to installing a downloaded package. You can ignore this error message.
N: Download is performed unsandboxed as root, as file '/home/user/Downloads/docker-desktop.deb' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)

By default, Docker Desktop is installed at /opt/docker-desktop.

The RPM package includes a post-install script that completes additional setup steps automatically.

The post-install script:

Sets the capability on the Docker Desktop binary to map privileged ports and set resource limits.
Adds a DNS name for Kubernetes to /etc/hosts.
Creates a symlink from /usr/local/bin/com.docker.cli to /usr/bin/docker. This is because the classic Docker CLI is installed at /usr/bin/docker. The Docker Desktop installer also installs a Docker CLI binary that includes cloud-integration capabilities and is essentially a wrapper for the Compose CLI, at/usr/local/bin/com.docker.cli. The symlink ensures that the wrapper can access the classic Docker CLI.

Launch Docker Desktop

Upgrade Docker Desktop

Once a new version for Docker Desktop is released, the Docker UI shows a notification. You need to download the new package each time you want to upgrade Docker Desktop and run:

$ sudo apt-get install ./docker-desktop-amd64.deb
