Remove API Reference from CLI & API Reference section

Summary

Removed the inaccurate API Reference from the CLI & API Reference section across the documentation site. This includes removing it from navigation, footer, documentation references, and adding redirects for existing links.

Changes made:

• Removed API Reference section from cli-api-reference.yml navigation (previously showed public-api endpoints)
• Removed "API Reference" link from footer component (footer/src/FernFooter.tsx)
• Rebuilt footer distribution file to reflect changes
• Consolidated and updated all API reference redirects in docs.yml to point to CLI Reference overview
• Updated documentation link in generate-api-ref.mdx to point to SDK snippets docs instead of removed API
• Removed "Access via API" section from sdk-snippets.mdx that referenced the Snippets API

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

• Verify the preview deployment loads correctly and API Reference is gone from both navigation and footer
• Test that existing API reference URLs properly redirect to CLI Reference (try /learn/api-reference/overview, /learn/cli-api-reference/api-reference/overview)
• Check if there are any internal documentation links or external references (blog posts, support docs) that still point to the removed API reference
• Confirm footer displays correctly on mobile and desktop views

• The footer was rebuilt using npm run build in the footer directory to update the compiled output
• All redirects now use wildcard patterns (:slug*) for broader coverage
• The underlying API spec files (api-get-started.mdx and public-api spec) remain on disk but are no longer exposed
