docs(ai-coder): add enablement instructions for agents experiment (#23057)

Adds a new **Enable Coder Agents** section to the Early Access doc
explaining how to activate the `agents` experiment flag via
`CODER_EXPERIMENTS` or `--experiments`.

## Changes

### `docs/ai-coder/agents/early-access.md`
- New **Enable Coder Agents** section with env var and CLI flag
examples.
- Note that the `agents` flag is excluded from wildcard (`*`) opt-in.
- Quick-start checklist: dashboard → Admin → configure provider/model →
start chatting.
- Link to GitHub issues for feedback.

### `docs/ai-coder/agents/index.md`
- Updated **Product status** from "internal preview" to "Early Access"
with a link to the early-access page for enablement instructions.

## Enable Coder Agents
Coder Agents is experimental and must not be deployed to production
environments. It is gated behind the `agents` experiment flag. To enable it,
pass the flag when starting the Coder server using an environment variable
or CLI flag:
```sh
CODER_EXPERIMENTS="agents" coder server
# or
coder server --experiments=agents
```
If you are already using other experiments, add `agents` to the
comma-separated list:
```sh
CODER_EXPERIMENTS="agents,oauth2,mcp-server-http" coder server
```
Once the server restarts with the experiment enabled:
1. Navigate to the **Agents** page in the Coder dashboard.
1. Open **Admin** settings and configure at least one LLM provider and model.
See [Models](./models.md) for detailed setup instructions.
1. Developers can then start a new chat from the Agents page.
