Introduce a new generator (`ruby_ui:install:docs`) that copies component
documentation files from the gem to Rails applications. Documentation
files follow the naming convention `{component}_docs.rb` and are copied
to `app/views/docs/` with the `_docs` suffix removed.
Usage:
bin/rails g ruby_ui:install:docs
bin/rails g ruby_ui:install:docs --force
Include stub classes for docs dependencies (Views::Base, Docs::Header,
Docs::VisualCodeExample, etc.) so docs files can be loaded without errors.
Rails apps can override these with full implementations.
Includes button component documentation as the first example.
