refactor: consolidate configuration file resolving (#10619)

### Description

This PR refactors the codebase to deduplicate the logic for resolving
`turbo.json` and `turbo.jsonc` configuration files.

- Introduced `resolve_turbo_config_path` in Rust
(`crates/turborepo-lib/src/turbo_json/mod.rs`) and
`resolveTurboConfigPath` in TypeScript
(`packages/turbo-utils/src/getTurboConfigs.ts`).
- Replaced duplicated file existence checks and conflict resolution with
calls to these new utility functions.
- Ensures that the behavior for handling `turbo.json` and `turbo.jsonc`
(precedence, error on both existing) remains unchanged.

### Testing Instructions

- The refactor is purely internal, and existing tests cover the
behavior.
-   Run `cargo test` in the Rust workspace.
-   Run `pnpm check-types` in the root to verify TypeScript changes.
