docs: Document .continue/configs directory for local config profiles

[continue]

Summary

Recently merged PR #11935 added support for .continue/configs/ as a third directory for loading local config profiles. This feature needs documentation.

Feature Details (from PR #11935)

• Adds .continue/configs/ as a third directory (alongside .continue/agents/ and .continue/assistants/) for loading local config profiles
• YAML files placed in .continue/configs/ (workspace or global) are now discovered, watched, and loaded as local profiles
• File creation/deletion in .continue/configs/ triggers config reload

Current Documentation Gap

The configuration documentation at /docs/customize/deep-dives/configuration.mdx currently only mentions:

• ~/.continue/config.yaml for user-level configuration
• .continuerc.json for workspace configuration (deprecated)
• config.ts for advanced programmatic configuration

The new .continue/configs/ directory is not documented.

Suggested Documentation

• Update /docs/customize/deep-dives/configuration.mdx to include:
  • Documentation of the .continue/configs/ directory
  • How to use it alongside .continue/agents/ and .continue/assistants/
  • File format requirements (YAML)
  • Global vs workspace scopes
• Consider adding a directory structure diagram showing all three directories
