Samples require updating to support preview.5. See #172

[DamianEdwards]

This sample requires a parameter value to be set in user secrets so that the PostgreSQL database is created with a stable password. I'll update the readme to make this clear.

[davidfowl]

Or maybe make this optional.

[DamianEdwards]

How? I admit I'm still having trouble understanding how we expect this to work.

[davidfowl]

Make container persistence optional in aspire shop (or just remove it). Make another example showing off the container persistence.

[DamianEdwards]

Doesn't that just move the problem to another sample? I could add code that checks for a parameter value and if it's not there not use data volumes.

[DamianEdwards]

I ended up updating the samples with a ParameterDefault extension that saves the default generated value in user secrets so no action should be required by the user to run the sample. In PR #174

Unable to reproduce on 17.10 Preview 3 [Includes Aspire 8.0.0-preview.5.24201.12] using aspire-samples main branch.
