9b6ff01471 docs: add provider setup guide for third-party LLM providers (#3294)
* docs: add provider setup guide and improve onboarding hints

Fixes #2161

Add docs/providers.md with step-by-step setup instructions for every
supported LLM provider: OpenRouter, Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, SGLang,
and all built-in providers. Includes env var names, example configs,
common pitfalls, and verification steps.

Improve onboarding wizard:
- Add URL hints to provider selection list
- Show common local endpoints when choosing Custom (OpenAI-compatible)
- Add post-setup guidance for OpenRouter and custom endpoints
- Reference docs/providers.md for compat troubleshooting

Update cross-references in getting-started.md, troubleshooting.md,
docs/README.md, and help-text.ts to link to the new guide.
