gorkem-bwl 9aa2594df7 docs(api): add public API documentation site (Astro Starlight)
## Changes
- Add narrative API documentation in docs/api-content/ (introduction,
  quickstart, authentication, conventions, errors, rate limiting)
- Scaffold Astro Starlight site at docs/api/ that consumes prose from
  the sibling api-content folder and auto-generates the endpoint
  reference from server/openapi.json via starlight-openapi
- Wire Checkmate brand color (#13715B) into Starlight via custom CSS
- Add vercel.json so the docs site deploys cleanly as an Astro project
  with root directory docs/api/

## Benefits
- Public API docs ready to publish at checkmate.so/docs
- Endpoint reference stays in sync with the OpenAPI spec automatically
- Zero third-party SaaS dependency: site is fully self-hosted on Vercel
- Contributors edit plain markdown; no Astro knowledge needed for prose
