Update Fern Editor component support status and fix MDX parsing error

Summary

Updates the Fern Editor documentation to accurately reflect current component support status based on PR review feedback from Sarah (@sbawabe). Also includes an MDX parsing fix for the CLI changelog that was blocking CI.

Changes:

  1. Updated component support table to mark Button, Embed, endpoint snippets (Request/Response/Schema), and Sticky tables as "Supported" instead of "Coming soon"
  2. Removed the "Does Fern Editor support all components?" accordion as it was duplicative of the component support table
  3. Fixed MDX parsing error in CLI changelog (2025-11-14.mdx) by properly escaping {API name} and X/Y placeholders with backticks

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

  • Verify component support accuracy: Confirm that Button, Embed, all three endpoint snippet components, and Sticky tables are actually fully supported in Fern Editor (not just partially working). This is the most critical item - if any of these aren't fully functional, the docs will be misleading.
  • Check preview deployment: Navigate to the Fern Editor page in the preview and verify:
    • The component support table displays correctly with updated statuses
    • The removed accordion doesn't leave an awkward gap or break the page flow
    • All component links in the table work correctly
  • Verify "tables" interpretation: Confirm that updating "Sticky tables" status was the correct interpretation of Sarah's comment "add another row that tables are supported" (vs. adding a separate "Tables" entry)
  • Verify MDX fix: Navigate to /learn/cli-api-reference/cli-changelog and confirm the 2025-11-14 entry renders correctly without parse errors

Test Plan

  1. Visit the preview URL and navigate to /learn/docs/writing-content/fern-editor
  2. Scroll to the "What are the supported components?" section
  3. Verify the table shows Button, Embed, endpoint snippets, and Sticky tables as "Supported"
  4. Confirm the FAQ section flows naturally without the removed accordion
  5. Test each newly-marked-as-supported component in Fern Editor to ensure they actually work
  6. Navigate to /learn/cli-api-reference/cli-changelog and verify the 2025-11-14 entry displays correctly

Fix contradictory FAQ about Fern Editor component support
ad2da25 
Update the 'Does Fern Editor support all components?' FAQ to accurately reflect that most components are supported with some still coming soon, making it consistent with the component support table above it.

Address Vale linter suggestions

Remove time-relative term 'currently' and unnecessary adverb 'regularly' to make the FAQ answer more timeless and concise.

Fix MDX parsing error in CLI changelog
95da38b 
Wrap {API name} and X/Y placeholders in backticks to prevent MDX parser
from treating curly braces as JSX expressions. This fixes the 'Could not
parse expression with acorn' error that was blocking CI.

This fix is bundled with the Fern Editor component updates to unblock CI
on this PR. The same fix was proposed in PR #2065 but hasn't been merged yet.
