Auto imports initially inheritted from Nuxt-base era.

With Nitro v3 initially we made them optional since not everyone uses them. (See original thread: #2232)

This PR removes built-in feature fully before we reach RC since outside Nuxt there are not enough users benefiting this and Nitro v3 is centered around explicit typed imports.

An opt-in module in the futue might bring back functionality for users need it.

Removes the unimport-powered auto-imports feature: the `imports` config
option, the `#imports` virtual module (and its `#nitro` alias), the
generated `nitro-imports.d.ts` declarations and the `#imports` tsconfig
path mapping.

`useDatabase` is no longer auto-registered when `experimental.database`
is enabled; import it from `nitro/database` instead.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Nitro removes Unimport-based auto-imports, the imports configuration, virtual import modules, and generated auto-import declarations. Related database behavior, tests, documentation, redirects, examples, and workspace configuration are updated.

Changes

Auto-import removal

Layer / File(s) Summary
Remove auto-import runtime contracts
src/types/config.ts, src/config/defaults.ts, src/config/resolvers/database.ts, src/nitro.ts, src/build/plugins.ts
Nitro no longer exposes the imports option, creates an Unimport instance, registers auto-import virtual modules, or adds the Unimport build plugin.
Update generated types and validation
src/build/types.ts, test/vite/types.test.ts, test/examples.test.ts, test/tests.ts
Type generation no longer emits nitro-imports.d.ts or its mappings. Tests remove the generated declaration requirement and update auto-import example handling and utility-resolution wording.
Remove auto-import documentation and examples
.agents/*, docs/*, examples/auto-imports/*, pnpm-workspace.yaml
Documentation and redirects for auto-imports are removed. The migration guide documents explicit imports. The auto-import example and Unimport release-age exclusion are deleted.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 6c991

This change removes auto-import support, while one contributor-facing architecture list still references the removed resolver. The mismatch could mildly confuse maintainers, but no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal review.

Remove the stale imports resolver entry.

The configuration loader no longer registers an imports resolver, but this list still says that it exists. Update the list to match src/config/loader.ts.
