ci: post docs preview link on PRs that change docs (#24283)

*Disclaimer: implemented by a Coder Agent using Claude Opus 4.6*

---

Adds a lightweight workflow that posts a docs preview link as a PR
comment
whenever a pull request touches files under `docs/`. The preview is
served
by coder.com's branch-preview feature at `/docs/@<branch>`.

The branch name is URL-encoded so names with slashes (e.g.
`user/feature`) produce correct links like
`/docs/@user%2Ffeature` instead of broken paths.

The comment is created on open and updated in-place on subsequent pushes
using the `peter-evans/find-comment` + `create-or-update-comment`
pattern
already used by the `pr-deploy` workflow.
