Nick Vigilante 2f34e1abd0 ci: add scheduled audit-docs-paths workflow (#27245)
## What

Adds `.github/workflows/audit-docs-paths.yaml`, a scheduled workflow
that runs the docs-URL drift audit (`site/scripts/audit-docs-paths.mjs`,
added in #25740) on a weekly cron and on demand, so drift is caught
automatically instead of only when someone runs the script by hand.
Scheduling was suggested by @bpmct on #25740.

## How it works

- **Triggers:** `schedule` (weekly, Monday 09:00 UTC — same cadence as
`weekly-docs`) and `workflow_dispatch`.
- **Checks out both repos:** `coder/coder` (root) and `coder/coder.com`
(into `coder.com/`, read with the `cdrci` CI-bot token). The audit
covers references in both repos.
- **Runs the audit** with absolute `--roots` (required, otherwise the
report can't classify findings by repo).
- **Always** uploads the dated report as the `audit-docs-paths-report`
artifact and writes it to the run summary.
- **On findings:** opens or updates a single deduplicated tracked issue
with the report, and fails the run (red check). **On a clean run:**
closes that issue.

## Enabling (dormant until then)

The audit reads **coder/coder.com, a private repo**, which the default
`GITHUB_TOKEN` can't read, so the coder.com checkout uses the existing
**`cdrci`** CI-bot token (`secrets.CDRCI_GITHUB_TOKEN`) — already used
for cross-repo checkouts in `release.yaml`/`tag-and-release.yaml`, and
`cdrci` is a coder.com collaborator (verified). No new App to stand up.
The job is gated behind `vars.AUDIT_DOCS_PATHS_ENABLED` so it merges
dormant and can be validated before going live.

To turn it on:
1. Set `vars.AUDIT_DOCS_PATHS_ENABLED = 'true'`.
2. Run once via `workflow_dispatch` to confirm the end-to-end run.

## Also in this PR

Removes the dormant `audit-docs-paths` job embedded in
`weekly-docs.yaml` (added in #25740, gated off pending the same
credential). The new dedicated workflow supersedes it; the
`weekly-docs.yaml` diff is exactly that job removal.

## Validation

- `actionlint -shellcheck= -ignore set-output` passes locally; PR
`title`, `lint-actions`, and `lint-docs` are green.
- **Credential check:** `cdrci` is a collaborator on coder/coder.com
(read access confirmed); `secrets.CDRCI_GITHUB_TOKEN` already exists in
this repo. (Note: `cdrci2` is *not* a coder.com collaborator, so an
earlier `CDRCI2_` attempt was corrected to `CDRCI_`.)
- **Pre-flight audit against current `main` (both repos): 0 findings** —
148 `/docs/*` redirect rules indexed; 1846 coder/coder + 432 coder.com
TS/TSX files scanned. So a `workflow_dispatch` on `main` today passes
green with no issue filed (the "empty audit succeeds" criterion). The
failure path can be checked by injecting a stale path on a throwaway
branch.

## Decisions for review

- **Mechanism** = tracked issue + failed check + artifact ("both" from
the issue). Easy to narrow to issue-only or fail-only.
- Reused `AUDIT_DOCS_PATHS_ENABLED` and removed the embedded job rather
than adding a second gate.
- Named the file `.yaml` to match the repo's other docs workflows (the
issue text said `.yml`).
