docs: migrate useful wiki content into the manual (#7990) (#7994)
* docs: migrate useful wiki content into the VitePress manual (#7990)

The GitHub wiki is being retired; documentation should ship with the
software. This migrates the still-accurate, non-duplicate wiki pages into
the published VitePress site (doc/**/*.md + the sidebar in
doc/.vitepress/config.mts) so they are versioned, searchable and portable:

- deployment.md: reverse-proxy configs (Nginx/Apache/Caddy/Traefik/
  HAProxy) with the WebSocket-upgrade rules, subdirectory hosting via
  X-Proxy-Path, native HTTPS via the ssl block, a systemd unit, and the
  Istio manifest (with the Redis-adapter multi-replica caveat).
- accessibility.md: editor keyboard shortcuts (verified against
  ace2_inner.ts / broadcast_slider.ts / pad_editbar.ts), toolbar
  navigation, NVDA notes.
- faq.md: install methods, URL-path reference, listing/deleting pads
  (API-first), backup/restore, and history pruning.
- development.md: source-tree tour, the pad<->format conversion pipeline,
  the internal DB API, and the Fontello toolbar-icon workflow.
- database.md: the key/value schema plus connecting MySQL/PostgreSQL/Redis
  backends and a pgloader MySQL->PostgreSQL migration (database docs were
  previously absent from the VitePress site).

Every page was checked against the current source before inclusion:
corrected the apt instructions to the live signed repo (stable/main,
signed-by key), dropped the unpublished snap, fixed the Redis dbSettings
(flat host/port/password or url, not the obsolete client_options),
dropped charset from the PostgreSQL example, and removed a phantom
getEtherpad API reference. The VitePress site builds cleanly
(pnpm run docs:build) with the dead-link checker enabled.

Closes #7990

* docs: add verified hands-on changeset/atext walkthrough (#7990)

Migrate the practical Changeset-library tutorial from the wiki into
changeset_library.md, rewritten against the current API: unpack(),
deserializeOps() (replacing the deprecated opIterator) and
new AttributePool() (replacing the removed AttributePoolFactory). Every
example output was produced by running the code against the current
Changeset.ts / AttributePool.ts, not copied from the wiki. Also fixes a
stale ether/etherpad-lite source link.
