docs(website): dedicated page per bundled + optional skill (#14929 )

Generates a full dedicated Docusaurus page for every one of the 132 skills
(73 bundled + 59 optional) under website/docs/user-guide/skills/{bundled,optional}/<category>/.
Each page carries the skill's description, metadata (version, author, license,
dependencies, platform gating, tags, related skills cross-linked to their own
pages), and the complete SKILL.md body that Hermes loads at runtime.

Previously the two catalog pages just listed skills with a one-line blurb and
no way to see what the skill actually did — users had to go read the source
repo. Now every skill has a browsable, searchable, cross-linked reference in
the docs.

- website/scripts/generate-skill-docs.py — generator that reads skills/ and
optional-skills/, writes per-skill pages, regenerates both catalog indexes,
and rewrites the Skills section of sidebars.ts. Handles MDX escaping
(outside fenced code blocks: curly braces, unsafe HTML-ish tags) and
rewrites relative references/*.md links to point at the GitHub source.
- website/docs/reference/skills-catalog.md — regenerated; each row links to
the new dedicated page.
- website/docs/reference/optional-skills-catalog.md — same.
- website/sidebars.ts — Skills section now has Bundled / Optional subtrees
with one nested category per skill folder.
- .github/workflows/{docs-site-checks,deploy-site}.yml — run the generator
before docusaurus build so CI stays in sync with the source SKILL.md files.

Build verified locally with `npx docusaurus build`. Only remaining warnings
are pre-existing broken link/anchor issues in unrelated pages.
