docs: add build-doc tooling and a README for every example
Documentation tooling:
- Add the `build-doc` skill and `tools/build_doc.py` wrapper for local
Sphinx builds (clean / -W / open).
- Enable Markdown (MyST) in conf.py and auto-collect
examples/{device,host,dual}/*/README.md into a 3-level Examples nav
(Examples > Device/Host/Dual > example), noting each page's source
location and normalizing headings to a single H1.
- Remove the stale `.claude/commands/build-doc.md`; point the AGENTS.md
Documentation section at the skill.
Example docs:
- Add a README.md for every device/host/dual example: what it does, USB
interface table, notable tusb_config.h settings, generic CMake + Make
build steps, and how to try it.
- Fold each *_freertos variant into its base README, noting the FreeRTOS
source path and any RTOS-specific behavior.
Generated docs/examples/ output is git-ignored. Builds clean with
`sphinx-build -W`.
