Documentation changes

Rewrites deploy/ghes.mdx around the new self-serve GitHub Enterprise flow in Git settings (spec). Customers enter their GHES host and organization, create an organization-owned GitHub App from a manifest, and install it. Nobody downloads a .pem or sends credentials to Mintlify.

  • The old steps 1 through 5 are now three: start in the dashboard, create the app on GitHub, install it.
  • Removed Share credentials with us and Mintlify connection.
  • Prerequisites: the GitHub Enterprise entitlement, the admin or editor role, and GitHub organization owner access.
  • Kept the network requirements section unchanged.
  • Updated two FAQ bullets that referred to site admin app creation and a hand-configured webhook secret.

Keep this in draft until mintlify/mint#13636 and mintlify/server#9782 ship.
